TAKING CONTROL WORKSHOP
Carnew Training & Development Centre is delighted to announce that we are, once again, able to facilitate another FREE ‘Taking Control’ Workshop run by Shine. The previous two workshops were booked out and deemed a great success by the all who participated.

The ‘Taking Control’ Workshop is about taking some time to focus on your own values, goals and wellness. It looks at practical ways to face life’s challenges, whilst maintaining, developing, and taking control of your physical and mental wellbeing. Over the past number of years, hundreds of people around the country have benefitted directly from participating in this workshop.

The aims of the workshop are:
To raise awareness of already existing positive factors in one’s own life, internally and externally.
To build resilience in the face of life’s challenges and setbacks.
To enchance coping skills, expecially pre-existing ones.
To develop and support self-esteem and confidence.
The workshop takes place at Carnew Resource Centre, Mill Lane on Friday 19th June, 2015 from 10.30am – 4.30pm Tuesday. To book a place (and places are limited) please contact Carnew Training & Development Centre at

Pride in Carnew – Tidy Towns
In Carnew we have a beautiful town, we have a dedicated Pride in Carnew committee/Tidy Towns group, plans are in progress and we’re all starting to see improvements around the area – BUT WE STILL NEED MORE HELP. We would love more people to get involved and we invite other community groups in the town to get involved. We need people from all walks of life. You don’t need to be involved regularly; you can drop in and out. Maybe you have an interest in wildlife, an interest in gardening, an interest in heritage, an interest in just getting out and about and getting to know some new people?

Tidy Towns – what’s it all about? Most people think it is little more than picking litter, keeping streets clean and sticking up hanging baskets in the summer. In fact that impression is completely wrong! Litter accounts for 10% of the Tidy Towns concept and hanging baskets are no longer recommended. The best groups have a mixture of people from the whole community involved; school kids, teenagers, young adults, retired people, pensioners, male and female.

Tidy Towns itself covers nature, wildlife, heritage, waste minimisation, environmental awareness, civic spirit, in due course raising the prosperity of the town and most importantly pride in your local community.

Take the step and get involved, make some new friends, you’ll be glad you did!
