Long before COVID19 Cork communities have been committed to supporting older people living in their homes. These services are vital now and more are coming together in response to the times. Here are some useful links to organisations if you need support or would like to support the effort. 

As community organisations strive to keep services going and respond to increasing needs, everyone can support by keeping an eye out on appeals for collections. We'll add any we see here, and if you are running one you can let us know on the tweet machine @UCC_Civic or by email to civic@ucc.ie.

Minding our mental health will be important in the days and weeks ahead. The HSE have useful pages with helpful links to services and our Student Wellbeing Office shared a useful link for meditation practice.

Do you have other commnunity links or resources you would like to share? Send them to us on civic@ucc.ie and we'll share them here.

Gymns and centres might be closed, but we are delighted to see the Cork groups finding new ways to support each other to stay active. If you'd like to share information about a group or activity in your area let us know on Twitter @UCC_Civic or at civic@ucc.ie and we'll share it here.
