Fifteen diverse and engaging events in different parts of the county will attract thousands of participants as part of \u2018The Big Hello!\u2019 Healthy Kerry Community Weekend 2019 which takes places over this May Bank Holiday Weekend.<\/p>\n

Funding of \u20ac10,000 has been allocated to community and voluntary groups around the county to enable them to host events\u00a0which will help people to get know all members of their community, to reconnect with neighbours and have a community celebration that is open and inclusive.<\/p>\n

The nationwide initiative, which\u00a0is funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development,\u00a0aims\u00a0to strengthen community ties and tackle social isolation.\u00a0 Events will be centred around food, environment, wellbeing or culture.<\/p>\n

Funding of \u20ac10,000 was recently allocated to Kerry events by the department and the Kerry Local Community and Development Committee (LCDC) invited applications for funding from community groups.<\/p>\n

The LCDC\u00a0agreed that the Healthy Kerry Committee along with representatives from Udar\u00e1s na Gaeltachta and the Public Participation Network (PPN) would oversee the administration of the fund. This committee themed the 2019 Healthy Kerry Community Weekend as \u2018Wellbeing Across the Ages.\u2019<\/p>\n
