AMBER FLAG
Sunday last was a very proud day for the club as we had the honour of raising the “Amber Flag “ in our Club, the first club in the County to do so. The Amber Flag acknowledges our work with mental fitness within our club and community. Con O’Connor from Pieta House presented the flag to Senior Club Chairman, Haulie Kerins. It was raised above the club by the Moran family. Talks to children and parents followed from Dr Susan Lawlor and Eoin Burns. We mightn’t see it – but each one of us, somewhere in our family, may be effected by a loved one who has mental health problems. We have started a ‘Mental Health and Fitness Programme’ to help our members. Susan will be working very closely with the Juvenile Club over the coming months on our mental fitness programme and we are very lucky to have her expertise. Details will be forthcoming to parents over the next few weeks.
