Our Impact
Nurturing Mental Well-being Through History, Folklore & Nature
The long-term health-related goal of the project is nurturing Mental Well-being through History, Folklore, and Nature to significantly improve the overall positive mental health and well-being of disadvantaged groups.
Helping a “A Healthy Adventure”.
The goal is to create sustainable positive impacts on participants’ mental health, fostering resilience, reducing stress, preventing social isolation and enhancing overall life satisfaction.
We aim to address the visions and goals to increase the proportion of people who are healthy at all stages of life, reduce health inequalities, protect the public from threats to health and wellbeing, and create an environment where every individual and sector of society can play their part in achieving a healthy Ireland, in order to achieve “A Healthy Ireland, where everyone can enjoy physical and mental health and wellbeing to their full potential, where wellbeing is valued and supported at every level of society and is everyone’s responsibility”.
LRAFA Clg Core Principles.
People with disabilities have the same needs for recreation and leisure as people without disabilities; however, they sometimes access more structured leisure activities within disability organisation’s and service providers, thereby reinforcing their segregation from community and friends on occasions.
Eliminate this segregation so far as humanly possible.
The provision in the Lough Ree Lake Access for All water-based facility of an integrated ‘sporting’ experience for people with disabilities is a step in the right direction. Activities such as angling will be available on our boat.
Whilst extra supports will be provided for disabled persons, the project will also provide an opportunity for able-bodied persons and disabled persons to play sport together, undertake adventure activities and socialise together.
