Hello Headford, How Are You!

Wednesday 15th May 2024, St Georges Square, Headford

Here are some photos from last Wednesday's Hello Headford How Are You Event.

A big thank you to our guest speaker Cllr Pete Roche who spoke so movingly and to our wonderful musicians:  Presentation College Headford choir and orchestra under the direction of Ita Cunningham, Matt Cunningham and family, Don Stiffe Music, Pauline Scanlon, Dave Clancy and Eamon Murray.

We are so lucky to have such talent in our community and we give great thanks to all involved who were so happy to come together and recognise the importance of raising awareness regarding mental health.
