 I'm joined in the studio now. Let me first tell you that there's a winter wellness event happening in the Radisson Hotel tomorrow the 12th of December between 12 noon and 2pm. And I'm joined in the studio now by Bill Vaughan. Good afternoon Bill. Good afternoon. How are you? Nice of you to come up and see us. All good with yourself? Yeah, yeah. All getting ready for Christmas. All getting ready for Christmas. It's building up. Is the Christmas tree up yet? Yes, just went up on the 8th, actually, very traditional. Oh, very good. No chance rather than anything else. Okay. Okay. So Bill, we're here to talk about the winter wellness event happening in the Mount, a bigger part in the Radisson Hotel, letter Kenny tomorrow between 12 noon. And there's loads of speakers. Tell me, what's going to happen tomorrow in the Radisson? It's a community event, really. We have lots of different organisations with information stands, community group, voluntary groups and others. So there'll be lots of information people can come in and look around, talk to people at the various stands. It's also a chance for networking. This was organised between the Public Participation Network in Donegal and Mental Health Ireland. And we just thought it would be nice at this time of the year to have an event like this to get everything together, the various different organisations and the public then to come in and just see what is out there in the various lines of support. Is this the first time it's happened in Donegal or is this an annual event? This is the first time that this would have happened. There's partnership in Mental Health Ireland and the Public Participation Network, but you would have similar events like this quite often. It's a great way to let the public see faces to names of different organisations. Exactly. And who will be there tomorrow, Bill? Who can expect to be there? You have several different people. We'll have the social prescribers, someone from social prescribers. If anyone doesn't know what social prescribers is, it's a service that allows GPs to refer on someone who may be kind of having issues around loneliness, bereavement or something like that. They can meet with a social prescriber and find out what's out there. A social prescriber can then sign, post them on to relevant services. So there'll be someone from there, some of the Liddikenny. The CDP will be there. Liddikenny Youth and Family Services will be there. And then we're going to have some speakers as well. We have Cain Ryan, who's a psychiatric nurse, but Cain also is big into the sport and has gone down that line, kind of linking sport and mental health. Mental health together, yeah. Cain is going to be speaking. There'll be someone speaking about courses that we do in Donegal in relation to suicide prevention, suicide awareness, you know. And it's just short talks, it's not big long talks. The main purpose of having this was just to get everything together towards the end of the year, you know, in a way that just kind of allows a bit of networking. I think the timing of it is absolutely perfect, because as I say, this time of the year, everything is amplified. Everybody's holly jolly jolly, but everybody's not like that. And we've got to take action and support. It's good to know it supports there. I mean, we're just saying earlier on there about the radio station going 34 years now coming up. This would have been unheard of back in the day, 1990. These sort of services that you're providing would be unheard of back in the day. I think we'll have about 20 tables with, you know, different organisations on the day. You know, so a lot of those will be community groups, some voluntary, grow and aware, who would deal very much with the mental health side of things. So it's great. It's great. And you just never know what, you know, when you come along to these kind of events, the connections you make with different people. And also then maybe you'd hear about different courses that are on or something that you thought, oh, well, you know, I couldn't go for that service there because, you know, it would be costly. And you find out, well, actually, it's not. And tomorrow's event, it's absolutely free. There's no admission charge. No admission charge, no. And we're even going to provide a bit of light, shall we say, refreshments at the end. Very nice. That's a huge part of this, is the networking and socialising. And who's it open to? Who do you expect to be there tomorrow? It's open to the whole public. And, you know, we'd welcome anyone to come along to the event, you know. And it's working. It's tomorrow from 12 o'clock to 2 in the Radisson Hotel. And there's Councillor Donald Mandi Kelly will be there as well. He's there for the welcome. Yeah, I think he's saying a few words at the start. Yeah. That's good to get everybody on board on that. And you get the social subscribers as well, as you say. And I always find these events that you need help and you don't know what you need, but these events sort of point in the right direction. Well, if you need X, Y and Z, well, we're here and we can do that for you. Yeah. And that's exactly what it's for, is to let people know that there's help out there, there's support out there. There's lots of very good organisations that are willing to do what they can to help individuals, to help families, and support the community. Yeah, as I say, this time of the year, as I say, everybody's holly jolly, but it's not for everyone. So that's the Winter Wellness event. It's all happening tomorrow in the Radisson Blue Hotel here in Letterkinny. And there will be HSE assistance, safe talks for subscribers, and Ryan mental health support, mental health and sports. So Kane's all into the connection between the sport and mental health. Yeah. And then there's also going to be a talk via Zoom, but a lady called Sue Landsberg from DCM Learning, and that is looking at how to create mental health champions within the workplace. So I'm looking forward to that as well. And you'll be there yourself? I'll be there, yeah. Yeah, I'm emceeing it, I believe. Hopefully won't make too many mistakes. And you can get a cup of coffee or a cup of tea down there while you're down there as well. You can at the Eden, yeah. Well, thank you so, so much for coming on the tell us. That's just to recap on that. It's the Winter Wellness event. It's happening tomorrow, the 12th of December. Radisson Hotel, Letterkinny, 12 noon to 2pm. Bill will be there, as I say, loads and loads of help there as well. And stakeholders and support groups, stands, networking information. All are welcome, not just you and you and you, but everyone is welcome to that. And even if you're not, if you know someone maybe who can't make it, you can maybe go there and get the information for all those people. Well, thank you very much for your time. Thank you, Eden.
