We were absolutely delighted to welcome Peter and John from Longford Town Men's Shed to our Community Growth Workshop at Ard Community House😊! It was a fantastic occasion filled with meaningful conversations, shared stories, personal experiences and plenty of community spirit. 🌱✨

It is moments like these that remind us of the importance of coming together, learning from one another and building stronger community connections 💚.

**A Space for You – and it’s not too late to join us 🌿**

We had our first A Space for You session last Friday, and if you missed it, you can still join us. We have three sessions remaining, with our next one this Friday, 18th September, from 10am–12pm at Longford Women’s Link.

Last week was about creating exactly what the name says — **a space for you**.

A warm, relaxed and welcoming space to step away from everything else for a couple of hours. Time to chat, reflect, enjoy a cuppa and something nice, take part in some gentle activities and hypnotherapy, or simply sit and **just be**.

There was no pressure to talk, share or participate in anything you didn’t want to. Sometimes we spend so much time looking after everyone and everything else that having a little space where nothing is expected of us can be valuable in itself.

This week we’ll be exploring "What Am I Carrying?” — looking at the things we carry for ourselves and for others, and beginning to recognise that not everything is ours to carry.

You don’t need to have attended Week One to take part. Just come as you are.

📍 **Longford Women’s Link, Ardnacassa Avenue**
If you’re unsure where to go when you arrive, just ask at reception.

Over the last few months, the 7 Sisters Women’s Group has been actively involved in the Community Litter Pick 🧤🗑️ initiative at Ard Community House.

We’ve not only been busy helping to keep our estate clean, safe and welcoming for our group and local residents, but we’ve also made sure that everyone gets a well-deserved cuppa and a sweet treat after all the hard work! ☕🍰

It’s been wonderful to see people coming together, having a chat, lending a hand and making a real difference in our local community. 💚

We hope to see even more of you at our next Community Litter Pick. Great company and a treat afterwards are guaranteed! 😊☕🍰
📸 Here are a few photos of what we’ve been up to so far.
