Bantry Age Friendly Information Guide Launch
On Wednesday March 22nd, Mayor of County Cork, Cllr. Danny Collins, launched the updated Age Friendly Information Guide for the Bantry Area. Bantry Age Friendly first produced this guide in September 2021 and have now completed a second edition with updated and additional information.
The Guide contains over 100 contact numbers for emergency services, healthcare, social groups, churches, transport, County Council and other public services along with a range of relevant helplines. It is intended as a handy reference for any services required in an emergency. A notable feature of this edition of the guide in the increased number of defibrillator locations included. These cover the Bantry, Kealkill, Ballylickey, Glengarriff and Sheepshead areas.
Mayor Collins referred to how useful it was to have all of these essential contact details available in one leaflet and he acknowledged all of the achievements of Bantry Age Friendly over the past two years.
The Age Friendly Information Guides are available free from a number of locations including Bantry Library and GP surgeries.

The celebration “ Come Eid With Me” is a huge celebration in the Muslim calendar , and also an opportunity for the Mallow people to connect with the Syrian community and get an understanding of what this celebration is all about and what it means to the Muslim community.
It is going to be a family fun day, with lots of activities for all children. There will be a huge display of food, with music, song and dance.
WE are inviting and encouraging as many people as possible to come along and join in the celebrations.
