A new initiative called Féchín Loving Life has been launched to create a safe and welcoming space for people aged 65 and over to come together, socialise, and enjoy a variety of enriching activities. Their first event, a sale of work, takes place in St. Fechin’s GAA Club this Saturday.

This weekly event aims to foster connection, promote well-being, and provide a supportive community for everyone involved.

Located at the Parish Hall, Sheetland Road, Termonfeckin, A92 DNT9, Féchín Loving Life is open to all over-65s in the pastoral area. Whether you wish to stop by for a friendly chat or participate in organised activities, you’ll find something to enjoy.

The organisers are making the programme accessible by offering a minibus service to transport attendees to and from their homes. Upon arrival, guests will be greeted with tea, coffee, and refreshments, followed by a hearty hot lunch later.

Féchín Loving Life provides an exciting schedule of activities designed to inspire new hobbies, encourage physical fitness, and keep everyone connected to local and national news.

Some of the activities include:

• Arts & Crafts
• Indoor Bowling
• Phone and Photography Workshops
• Bingo and Card Games
• Sing-Alongs
• Stretch and Gentle Exercise
• Talks and Discussions: From growing indoor plants to understanding coastal erosion.
• Outings: Trips to venues like the TLT Centre or historic stately homes.

This diverse programme ensures there is something for everyone, whether it’s learning a new skill, exploring local issues, or simply enjoying a fun day out with friends.

As a community-run organisation, Féchín Loving Life relies entirely on voluntary support and donations, as it receives no Government funding. Organisers are asking for contributions to help sustain this important initiative.

The programme also needs volunteers to assist from 10 am to 3 pm on activity days. Anyone interested in volunteering is encouraged to get in touch.

For more information, to make a donation, or to volunteer, contact the Féchín Loving Life team at 085 811 0475 or email Fechinlovinglife2024@outlook.ie
