Community Check in Cards
The HSE are finding that those that older and vulnerable members of the community that have been cocooning are finding it difficult to start to socialise again. Your community group could help by delivering ‘Check-In’ cards to older and vulnerable persons in your communities and inviting them to participate in community activities that are being planned. This neighbourly non-contact check in invites people to stay connected and reach out if they need support.
If your group wishes to participate contact the PPN on 057 8665661 or email ppn@laoiscoco.ie -
