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. As a project that would have great benefits to the community, the Havin’ a Laugh Charity agreed to enter into contract with the HSE to facilitate the community aspects of the project…
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!

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.

Promoting arts as a way to cope with Mental Health Issues
Visit : FEAR-LESS – POETRY COOPERATIVE
The project is a brainchild of Gerald Cosgrove, who, pre-Covid, staged many fundraising events under the banner “The Language of Music”. Gerald’s intention is to inspire people who are struggling with mental health issues to play music while raising funds for local mental health charities.
The Poetry Cooperative – an online community of poets – in collaboration with musician Gerald Cosgrove and many others – is running a drive to promote the arts as a means of maintaining good mental health.
The next fundraising gig and poetry live mic will be staged at the Riverside Hotel, Sligo, on 13 July 2023 and will feature a host of local musicians and poets.
The Riverside Hotel has generously agreed to make their event room available free of charge, and we are excited to introduce a great mixture of musicians and poets.
Similar events were staged last year at the Roisin Dubh in Galway, the Imperial Hotel Dundalk, and the Maldron Hotel in Derry.
We would like to invite people to come along and support this event. And if any poets or musicians would like to perform, wmail submissions@poetrycooperative.org.
