Two local charities are set to benefit from a new Ladies Lifestyle evening planned for the INEC later this month.

The Ian O’Connell Trust Foundation and the Donal Walsh Live Life charities will be the main beneficiaries of the event which is set for March 28. Doors open at 7.30pm on the night with the event starting at 8pm.

The evening will include advice on diet and nutrition with dietitian Paula Mee. Style queen Celia Holman Lee, owner of the longest running model agency in Ireland the Holman Lee Agency, will be revealing her secrets in a Beauty and Lifestyle Q&A, and will also showcase a style segment with tips on how to style an outfit from head to toe.

One of Ireland’s most successful personal trainers and health blogger Nathalie Lennon will also give lots of fitness and well-being advice, while MC for the night will be Radio Kerry’s Alan Finn.

The event is co-hosted by Dawn Milk and the National Dairy Council.

“Paula will highlight the importance of having a healthy, balanced diet and how we can ‘Shape Up our Nutrition’ with easy tips,” Dawn Milk marketing manager, Teresa Walker said.

“Over-eating calories relative to our needs is very easy. In some parts of the world, including here in Ireland, over half of the population are collectively overweight, meaning it is no longer the norm to be a normal weight. Paula will sift through the jargon and give the audience practical tips and advice that works.”

The evening will also include a fantastic raffle with some amazing prizes including the chance to win a VIP Day at the Dawn Milk Ladies Day at the Killarney Races on Thursday, July 18, and two tickets to the Spice Girls concert in Croke Park in Dublin this summer.

 

Tickets are €10 and available in SuperValu Killarney or online at www.eventbrite.ie.

Kerry Community Youth Service (KCYS) was pleased to welcome Minister Niall Collins to its Youth Diversion Project in Kilarney last week.

The visit gave the Minister an opportunity to meet staff and hear directly about the work of the Kerry Youth Diversion Project, including early intervention, family support, court accompaniment and wider youth justice practice across the county.
KCYS supports young people across a broad continuum of services in Kerry, from preventative and developmental youth work through to highly targeted interventions for young people and families facing significant challenge and complexity. The Youth Diversion Project forms an important part of that wider continuum of support.
Speaking following the visit, Seamus Whitty, CEO of KCYS, said:
“We were delighted to welcome Minister Collins to Kerry and to have the opportunity to give him a sense of the breadth and depth of the work being carried by the Youth Diversion Project here.
The Youth Diversion Project in Kerry is a strong and well-developed intervention, grounded in practice, informed by evidence, and marked by innovation in how it supports young people and families. It is part of a broader continuum of supports provided by KCYS, and it depends on strong collaboration across teams, services and community partners to make a real difference in people’s lives.
It is also important to acknowledge the Department’s continued commitment to youth justice. The policy direction in this area has been a progressive one, and that has created space for work of this kind to develop and respond to need in a meaningful way.”
The visit highlighted the scale and complexity of the work being carried by the KCYS team, and the importance of sustained investment in youth work responses for young people and families.
