🍂 AUTUMN AT KENNEDY PARK 🍁

Some of our Day Opportunities attendees recently enjoyed a visit to Kennedy Park, making the most of the season and spending time outdoors surrounded by the colours of autumn.

Getting out in nature is a lovely way to enjoy fresh air, take in the changing scenery and simply slow things down for a while.

Autumn brings its own kind of beauty, and Kennedy Park was the perfect place to enjoy it. 🌳🍁

A lovely day out, with plenty of fresh air, seasonal colour and time together.

🌍 LEARNING THROUGH COMMUNITY EXPERIENCES

The Horizons group have been out and about recently, taking part in a range of community experiences and making the most of opportunities to learn beyond the usual routine, visiting Hook Lighthouse and Great Escape Waterford.

Getting involved in the local community is about much more than simply going somewhere new. It can help people build confidence, develop independence, practise everyday skills and become more familiar with the services, facilities and opportunities available around them.

From planning where to go and making choices, to navigating local spaces, communicating with others and trying new activities, each experience can support learning in a practical and meaningful way.

Most importantly, it helps build connection, belonging and confidence in taking an active part in community life.

TASTES OF THE WORLD – THAILAND

Residents in Ard Alainn recently enjoyed another Tastes of the World evening, this time exploring the flavours of Thailand.

It was a lovely opportunity to try something different, enjoy a meal together and learn a little more about another culture through food.

These evenings are always a great way to encourage choice, conversation and new experiences — and, most importantly, to enjoy good food in good company. 🍜🥢

A great night all round, and another country added to our Tastes of the World journey.

🤝 LÁMH CONNECTS US

On Wednesday this week, we marked Lámh Day, with this year’s theme: “Lámh Connects Us.”

Throughout the day, the people we support explored Lámh signs linked to feelings and emotions, helping to build confidence in expressing how they feel and understanding others.

For the day’s activity, everyone wrote their name and favourite Lámh Sign on a piece of paper, before linking them all together to create one shared chain — a lovely visual reminder of how communication can connect us. 🔗💛

Lámh was also used naturally throughout the day, including at lunchtime and when greeting peers and staff, helping to make communication part of everyday interactions.

A simple but meaningful way to celebrate inclusion, connection and communication.

Dumitra recently took part in a bookmark design competition organised by New Ross Library, creating her own original design for the competition.

We were delighted to hear that Dumitra’s bookmark was chosen to be printed, which was a fantastic recognition of her creativity and hard work. She also received a pencil holder as a prize. ✏️🎉

A big congratulations to Dumitra on a brilliant achievement — and well done to our local library for creating opportunities like this for people to take part, be creative and get involved. 💛
