Giving a Voice to Rathcoole – A Conversation with our friend Rosemary Bell-McCracken.
Giving a Voice to Rathcoole – A Conversation with our friend Rosemary Bell-McCracken.
In the Ellen Finlays latest episode of Policy 360 Unplugged, they shared insights into the challenges facing Rathcoole—from educational underachievement and housing struggles to the lack of essential resources like first aid training, political representation, community trust, and the need for policymakers to truly engage at the grassroots level. Her message is clear: real change starts with listening to the people who live these issues daily. Please tune in 

CPR and defibrillator training
Today seen our second group complete their first aid with CPR and defibrillator training.
Did you know the first 5 minutes after a cardiac arrest are the most crucial and with immediate treatment before paramedics arrive? It can vastly improve the outcome for the person.
Another huge thank you to Barry “Baz” Hamilton BEM.
Mental wealth and mental health
Yesterday evening members of Dalaradia/RATH engaged with a group of local teenagers.
Our talk centred around mental wealth and touched on mental health. Did you know that 1 in 4 people in the UK are likely to experience mental health problems each year? The months following Christmas are notoriously bad for people, especially around this age as they try to navigate the transition from being a kid to a young adult. This was followed by us treating the guys to a night out at the The SSE Arena, to watch Arenacross.
By developing a greater understanding of common mental health conditions, as well as how best to support and guide someone to professional help, you can help to reduce the stigma associated with mental health.
A huge thank you to our friend Graeme at Ulster Motivational. The big man is on a level that the young lads understood. He caters to all ages, we highly recommend his services. Also a big thank you to Wendy and Laura at Impact Network NI for making this possible.
