Description
Preparation and distribution of resilience packs through the 13 Agricultural Co OPs in the county targeting rural men not engaged with community groups. The Keep Well campaign is aimed at showing people of all ages how we can mind our own physical and mental health and wellbeing by adding healthy and helpful habits to our daily and weekly routines. In November Tipperary Age Friendly provided similar resilience packs which were distributed through over 70 older adult community groups in Tipperary with over 1300 packs provided. This distribution of this pack will be to the local farming community and is being targeted at those not engaged in the traditional older adult community groups and those who may not typically engage online to get their information. Within each pack there is information guides, healthy eating guidelines physical activity guides, crime prevention advice and information for supports available during these challenging times.
