Two of our Clane Red Cross members are in Portlaoise this weekend completing the Safeguarding Trainers Course. The safety and wellbeing of our teams is paramount, and having more members trained in safeguarding helps us support each other and the community even better.

Best of luck to them both over the weekend.

Proudly supporting…

We would love to see as many people join the Miles and Smiles for Hazel event on the 29th August 2025 at the Canal Lock Gates in Kilcock from 0900.

Hazel passed away from pancreatic cancer in August 2024, and this walk/run is a way of honouring her bright, joyful spirit while supporting a cause close to her family's heart.

Whether you're in Ireland or anywhere else in the world, you can take part:
👉 Walk, jog, or run any distance — wherever you are
👉 Wear pink, Hazel’s favourite colour
👉 Or simply make a donation to support the cause

There’s no entry fee, just the chance to make a real difference If you're local, join us in Kilcock:
🕘 Half Marathon – 9:00 AM
🕘 10km – 9:45 AM
🕘 5km & 3km – 10:00 AM
Lets make every mile count for Hazel, and all those affected by ensuring they can access cancer support services when they need to. 💕

Yesterday’s session was a good one – kicked off with a short PowerPoint on festival drugs, focusing on harm reduction and what to watch for from Chloe Doyle Then we moved into some hands-on scenarios to put the learning into practice. Great engagement from the group and some solid discussions. 👏 Always good to keep it real and relevant.

Another great Thursday night with Clane Red Cross!
Thursday evening’s training was all about teamwork – we ran a few scenarios outdoors and indoors, giving everyone the chance to practice their skills in real-life situations. Loads of learning, plenty of laughs, and we wrapped up with a really useful demo on the pelvic binder.

Massive well done to everyone who took part – brilliant effort all round and to those who made it work the two chloes!

We train every Thursday evening from 7:30 to 9:30pm at the Irish Wheelchair Association Community Centre.

Thinking of joining us? Pop us a message or email Secretary.Clane@irishredcross.com
