Ballina Carers Support Group
Enjoyed a much needed day out for our hard working carers during National Carers Week.
We travelled to Turlough for breakfast at The Bay Leaf Cafe in Horkans Garden Centre. Thank you to Elle and staff for looking after us so well . The food was delicious with plenty of hot tea. We indulged in a little retail therapy before moving on to Westport and Spa Sula at The Plaza Hotel for treatments. Thank you to Sarah and the wonderful therapist who made sure we were de-stressed and ready for Dinner in The Castlecourt Hotel. The service and food were excellent both in the bar and dining room. Our thanks to all the staff who were so helpful and friendly to us all, and a big thank you to Rhonda Chambers who
made sure everything ran smoothly.
A big thank to our lovely bus driver Johnny from Corcoran’s Bus Hire. Lahardane who got us there and back home safely.
National Carers Week recognised the dedication shown by family carers every day and the vital role they play in our communities and a reminded that carers need support, recognition and opportunities to look after their own health and wellbeing while caring for others.
