Cairde took part in a radio show Global Village on Newstalk last Saturday. We discussed the issues of ethnic minority people related to accessing health services in Ireland. During the programme a former Cairde’s client texted the show saying that he is a living testimony of Cairde’s effective work. Click here to listen back to the programme.

Training for the memebers of Women’s and Men’s groups in our centre in Balbriggan has just finished. It covered the subjects of personal development, computers, CV and job interview skills, and mental health as well as women’s and men’s health.

The areas for training were identified by the participants. Over 30 people took part.

Thirty people participated in an information session delivered in Cairde’s office to Chinese living in Dublin. The session covered subjects such as accessing GP, hospital services, medical card/ GP visit card and women’s health.

It is the first of a series of information sessions in the Chinese language planned for this year. Next is scheduled for the Autumn.

Cairde also provides information sessions to community groups on outreach basis in a variety of languages. Please contact us for more information.
