Customers and Friends of Creeslough 💗

We want to keep you all updated as much as possible. We have been working closely with our retail partner Nearby Ireland and S&W Wholesale on getting those much needed services and essentials back into our community. We hope to have a store opened for you in the next few weeks.

We have been overwhelmed by the help, support and guidance from friends, strangers and the community of Creeslough to get it to this stage and we cannot thank you all enough.

HSE Helpline to offer continued support in Creeslough

The HSE support service in Creeslough will be open on Tuesday 1st and Wednesday 2nd of November in private rooms behind Brennan’s Pharmacy.
Please drop in or call the Support Line to make an appointment on 087 1405138.

The drop in service will not have a consistent presence in Creeslough after this time. The support service has provided a level of support to the community that is appropriate in the immediate aftermath of a tragedy. The next phase of supports will take a different form. The HSE also knows that some people need professional supports and services along the way and these will be available in a timely way as they are needed. The HSE Support Line will remain open Monday to Friday 9 am to 5pm to answer queries.

On Wednesday November 2nd at 7pm there will be a community event in association with St. Michael’s GAA club, in the club house in Dunfanaghy. In the coming weeks and months, a number of other tailored community supports will be facilitated as needed

In addition, a number of group programmes will be offered to people in three to four months time, which is the appropriate timeframe after a traumatic event. Information will be shared in the community closer to the time.

The HSE continues to advise people to attend their GP for access to services if and when they feel this is required and priority routes to services (via the GP) will continue for those impacted by the tragedy
