Keep Well, Keep Movin Health Festival 15th April Silversprings

 

Keep Well, Keep Movin’: A Health Festival Empowering Older Adults in Cork

Staying active, informed, and connected is more important than ever as we grow older and this April, an exciting event in Cork is bringing all of that together in one place. 

The Keep Well, Keep Movin’ Health Festival is set to be a vibrant, informative, and welcoming day dedicated entirely to supporting the health and wellbeing of older adults.

A Day Focused on Health and Wellbeing

Taking place on Wednesday, 15th April 2026, from 10:00am to 3:00pm, this free event promises a wealth of resources, guidance, and community connection. Hosted with the support of the Cork North and East Community Work Department, HSE Southwest, the festival is designed to address the real and evolving health needs of older people in the region.

What to Expect

The festival offers a rich mix of presentations and interactive opportunities, all tailored specifically for older adults:

• Informative Presentations
  Experts will deliver talks covering key health topics relevant to later life—helping attendees better understand how to maintain physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
• 25+ Information Stands
  A wide range of services will be represented, including Cork Cultural Companions, HSE supports, statutory services, and community and voluntary organisations. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore what’s available locally, ask questions, and discover supports you may not have known about.
• Community Connection
  Beyond the information, the event is a chance to meet others, share experiences, and feel part of a supportive community focused on healthy living.

Why Events Like This Matter

As we age, access to clear, reliable health information becomes essential. Events like Keep Well, Keep Movin’ not only provide that information but also empower individuals to take control of their wellbeing. They bridge the gap between services and the people who need them, making support more accessible and approachable.

Equally important is the social aspect. Staying connected plays a huge role in overall health, and gatherings like this foster a sense of belonging and encouragement.

How to Attend

While admission is completely free, booking is essential to secure your place.

To register:

• 📞 Call: 086 4668484
• 📧 Email: Nicola.Lucey2@hse.ie

Final Thoughts

The KeepWell, Keep Movin’ Health Festival is a celebration of healthy ageing, community support, and proactive wellbeing. Whether you’re looking for advice, resources, or simply a positive day out, this festival is well worth attending.

Mark your calendar, book your spot, and take a step toward staying well—and keep movin’.

Transition Year students from across Cork City and County came together on Thursday, 26th March at Fota Wildlife Park’s Education, Conservation and Research Centre for the 2026 Rubbish Film Festival Awards, a joint event hosted by Cork County Council and Cork City Council.

The Best Film Awards were presented to Coláiste Pobail Bheanntraí for their film, Stop Dreaming and St. Angela's College for their film, At What Cost. Runner Up Awards were presented to Pobalscoil na Tríonóide and Terence MacSwiney Community College while Patrician Academy and Mount Mercy College took home the top prizes for the Poster Competition.
