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.

February Coffee Morning by Jessica Brady
Coffee Morning, News, Past EventsThis month’s Coffee Morning was lovely as always. Those of us who were online spent a good while talking to the group in the Blind Tiger. It was nice to feel part of the in-person meeting, as well as having a chance to chat with the online members.
