When I first started Sligo Hub, there was a dedicated section for local community groups. While the hub is no longer mine, Iโve recently noticed more and more people sharing that they feel lonely or disconnected - particularly those who are new to the area, living in rural parts of the county, or who feel...

Bluebells, Beaches and Woodland Walks at Lissadell, Sligo
If you canโt decide between a forest walk or a stroll along the beach, Lissadell is the perfect place to have both. As you drive from the village of Carney, youโll spot a little gate lodge on the left-hand side. Turn down there and youโll find a small lay-by with space for a few cars.... Continue Reading →

Tuesday Thoughts
Itโs been a few weeks since my last Sunday Thoughts. I just havenโt been in the right headspace to write - and thatโs okay. Sometimes it's good to take a break. But here I am again, back to annoy you all. Life has been busy (though not quite as hectic as before). There have been... Continue Reading →
