Calling all TY STUDENTS & TEACHERS!

Show your Heart of Gold and make an impact for family carers across Ireland! We want family carers to know they have the support they need to care safely and that no one should have to care alone.

This is why, for our 2027 Heart of Gold campaign, we are inviting you and countless other TY classes to help raise funds for our vital supports and services to thousands of family carers who avail of it every year.

If you are a TY coordinator looking to host a fundraising collection during our Heart of Gold campaign on 11th February 2027, we'd love to hear from you.

Today, we recognise the value of lived experience and the importance of listening to people who know first-hand what it means to live with chronic pain.

Living with chronic pain can affect everyday life in ways that are not always visible or understood. The experiences of people living with pain offer valuable insight into the challenges they face, the decisions they navigate and the approaches that work for them.

That’s why 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂 booklet is part of R.E.A.C.H. for Movement, a collection of resources co-designed by Dublin City University researchers, Chronic Pain Ireland, and individuals living with chronic pain.

The booklet shares personal experiences of movement and the different ways people have found to make it part of their lives. These stories remind us that there is no single approach that works for everyone - and that the voices of people living with chronic pain should help inform the resources and support available to them.

At Chronic Pain Ireland, we believe the experiences of people living with chronic pain should be at the heart of the conversations, resources and support that affect their lives.
