    Check-In Cards

    This week Laois County Council is launching a new ‘Check-In’ initiative across the county as part of the ‘Keep Well’ Community Resilience Campaign. Registered members of the Public Participation Network will be delivering ‘Check-In’ cards to older and vulnerable persons in our communities, living alone or more isolated during this pandemic. This neighbourly non-contact check in invites older, vulnerable and isolated people to reach out and connect.
