Pilot Project Report

Ballytivnan Gardens

A Pilot Project was launched in February 2022 with the aim of developing the HSE site at Ballytivnan to be a welcoming front door for mental health services.

Havin’ a Laugh The Book!

The Book is a collection of great stories, jokes, poems, art, and imagery that will inspire and delight. It’s a wonderful book that you can easily dip in and out of and it would also make a wonderful gift.

All of the amazing content in The Book was submitted by people from Sligo, Leitrim and beyond between the ages of 6 and 94, and proceeds from sales will go directly towards building our new online voucher buddy platform.

We are delighted to announce that we have been listed #4 on the RTE recommended books for mental health!

ABOUT US

Due to the ever increasing awareness of the positive effects of exercise, the outdoors and community-based activities on Emotional and Mental Health, Rennafix endeavours to subsidize life-enhancing activities to community groups and those seeking counselling and/or therapy.

Havin’ a Laugh Charity was established by Rennafix Group to promote positive mental health through life-enhancing activities. We are dedicated to the promotion of life-enhancing activities as essential tools for personal emotional stability and positive mental health.

We fund-raise through the creation of events that showcase the life-enhancing activities available in our locality. The ethos of the organisation is that those who are ‘up for it and at it’ have a platform from which they can support those who do not have that drive. Understanding that any community or group of friends is only as strong as its weakest member.
