Standard 13 – “The Clubhouse is located in its own physical space, it is separate form any mental health centre or institutional settings and is impermeable to other programmes. The Clubhouse is designed to facilitate the work-ordered-day and at the same time be attractive, adequate in size and convey a sense of respect and dignity.”

Operation Transformation Nationwide 5k Run

On Saturday the 23rd of February Suaimhneas hit the Phoenix Park to take part in The Operation Transformation a 5k run along with thousands of others.

Huge crowds flocked the park to take part with the stars of the hit RTE show at the front of the pack for take-off. Leaders Cathal, Paul, Pamela, and Siobhan were snapped at the start line alongside Kathryn Thomas, Dr Sumi, Dr Eddie and fitness guru Karl Henry.

The atmosphere was electric. We joined the 5k run as part of our Change for Life programme which is facilitated by Olivia Shaddock from Dublin City Sports and Wellbeing Partnership.

Olivia put us through our paces every Wednesday on the lead up to the event and everyone really gave it their all on the day! We would like to say a special thank you to Olivia for her support over the last couple of weeks! Seeing and crossing the finish line gave us all a great sense of achievement and we are all really proud of ourselves!

Tune into Operation Transformation on RTE tonight…You never know you might spot us in the crowd! you never know you might spot us in the crowd!

NEW Horticulture Programme!

Last Thursday marked the start of our brand new Horticulture programme funded by CDETB. We where granted 40 hours which we are very excited about! We were introduced to our instructor Des who really impressed us with his knowledge on horticulture and gardening.

We made plans for the coming weeks and didn’t hang around…we got stuck right in! We started by relaying our strawberry beds, We then pruned our fruit bushes and learned how to take cuttings to be able to replant other bushes in the future.

We are looking forward to the next class!
