Please see poster below for details of Meath Partnership and Healthy Ireland’s online talk with Niall Carroll tomorrow the 7th of December from 11am.

Niall Carroll founded and organised the highly regarded ‘100k in 30 days’ campaign. The ‘100k in 30 Days’ campaign started off as a fun community based event, in Blackrock village, Co. Louth seven years ago. An event was created to encourage some healthy competition and activity amongst locals in the community. All proceeds raised (over 3 million) have been donated into  breast cancer research.

We would like to invite you to attend the session on the 7th of December. We hope that hearing from Niall will be both a source of inspiration on how he turned a difficult time in his family’s life into a worldwide success.

On the day, we will share key information and resources from the Bridges Erasmus+ project that addresses the challenge of social and employment integration of people with disabilities. Our free educational resources will be shared with all attendees. For more information please contact Irena: [email protected] or call: 086 026 5665.

At this event, Meath Partnership will also be introducing our new youth engagement project – Stay On. This project will begin early next year, and will present young people from rural areas, who are not currently in employment, education or training, with an exciting opportunity to create benefits, services and jobs for themselves in their own communities. We will work closely with these youths, providing coaching and training, and helping to bring their ideas to life through co-innovation labs, where local businesses will offer their support and expertise through mentoring. This project aims to empower these young people to create employment opportunities for themselves, essentially enabling them to ‘Stay On’ rural land. To learn more about the Stay On Project, you can contact me via return email, call: 046 – 9280790, or join us on Tuesday via the link below.
