Keep Well Campaign

The “Keep Well” campaign is aimed at showing people of all ages how we can mind our own physical and mental health and wellbeing by adding healthy and helpful habits to our daily and weekly routines

The “Keep Well” campaign is focussed on five main themes

Keeping active - keeping active and being outdoors, even during the winter, is important to help physical and mental health and wellbeing.

Staying connected - staying connected with people, addressing isolation, supporting volunteerism and initiatives that support person-to-person connection is important to our wellbeing.

Switching off and being creative - switching off and being creative or learning something new, getting back to nature and finding ways to relax can help our general wellbeing.

Eating Well - by nourishing our bodies and minds, we can develop a better connection between the food we eat and how we feel and positively impact our physical and mental wellbeing.

Minding your mood – equipping people with information on where to go if they need support. This will also be linked with the local community helpline to ensure that people can access the support they need.

Keeping Active

Keeping active and being outdoors, even during the winter, is important to help physical and mental health and wellbeing. We are going through difficult and challenging times but it has never been more important for us to look after our physical and mental wellbeing. A daily walk can do so much for our mind and body We have beautiful walks around the Cloonlarge Loop. Just be still at times and listen to the bird song. Our updated Trail Map is below. updated-trail-map-final If you are not used to walking, try a 12 minute challenge for starters and gradually build up your time You can get good advice here on the link below
