CLG Dhún na nGall, through their Health & Wellbeing committee, have been working with the Donegal Age Friendly programme, the Public Participation Network and YOURS (Young, Old, Understanding, Remembering and Sharing) on a new project #It’sGoodToTalk #GAA .
Donegal GAA players and management, past and present, are volunteering to give a lift to those who have being “cocooning” and cut off from their typical social networks by pledging a few minutes of their time to make a call to someone who is isolated and have a chat with him/her about GAA or reminisce about former glory days.
All Star Ryan McHugh and Mairead Cranley of Donegal County Council outlined the details on Highland’s Nine Til Noon Show…
