Kanturk/Mallow, Fermoy, Est Cork, Bandon/Kinsale, Cobh, and Carrigaline. Developing a Vision for Community Wellbeing means thinking about what we have and what we need to help our County to be as great as it can be for us and for the many generations that follow on from ours.
One thing everyone can agree on is that we would like our community to be the very best it can be. Cork County PPN are delighted to be rolling out the National Initiative on Community wellbeing. “Our wellbeing is affected by many things; the economy, the environment, services etc” explained Morri Drislane, PPN Coordinator “and the wellbeing of the community affects everyone within it.

What is Community Wellbeing
Wellbeing is an increasingly common term that can describe wider conditions than good physical and mental health, which we need as individual and communities to have a better quality of life, a healthier environment and increased prosperity. Some of these are things that we can easily measure, like the number of pre-school places, or the speed with which an ambulance can get to a sick person. Others are less easily measured, such as our pride of place, our heritage and the way in which we all look after each other. All aspects of wellbeing are connected to each other. “So, for example, if we our natural environment is poor, it will affect our mental and physical health as well as our economy. In other words,all the parts of our community wellbeing are interconnected” explained Morrin, PPN Coordinator
Under this programme the Cork County PPN and the other 30 PPNs in the country will look at community wellbeing under the same headings; social and community development; environment and sustainability; work, economy and resources; health; values, culture and meaning; and participation,democracy and good governance. By using these 6 headings across all the country, we can see whetherwe in County Cork have the same concerns and causes for celebration as others.
