Kilkenny/Carlow Contact:
Bring a smile to someone’s face and become a Volunteer Befriender with Kilkenny/Carlow Contact. If you are a good listener with a caring personality and would like a chance to make a difference to someone’s day in your community, we’d love to hear from you! Befriending is all about offering companionship on a weekly basis, to an Older Person, who may feel socially isolated or lonely. We are currently looking for male and female volunteers in the following areas: Kilkenny City, Stoneyford, Freshford, Graiguenamanagh and Thomastown. If you can commit to 1 or 2 hours per week to befriend an Older Person please contact us at our Kilkenny Office on 056 777 2151 or you can contact our Befriending Coordinator Eleanor Doyle on 086 853 0994
Fit Club: Stoneyford Community Hall. Wednesday night @ 8.15 p.m.
Ideally the “Fit Club” is aimed at adults from the age of 40 years of age and older. Of course it is not an ageist group and any adult who feels that our activities may be of benefit is welcome to come along.
If you feel that you would like to recover the fitness of your youth but feel that you are not ready or perhaps not able to join one of the many fitness groups aimed at a younger age profile, well, feel welcome to come along and give it a try.
If you feel you are so unfit that you are beyond redemption, “Fit Club” is definitely for you as Séamus will tailor a fitness regime especially for you. You can take part in a group activity and at the same time do individual exercises.
Turn up or contact: 086 3649923
