💚 Dohenys Ladies Football Club to Lead Major Mental Health Initiative 💚

Exciting times lie ahead for Dohenys Ladies Football Club as they have been proudly selected as the Cork representative for the 2026 Serious Support Club Programme, an inspiring initiative led by Lidl Ireland.

This prestigious programme is designed to raise awareness and deepen understanding of mental health within clubs and communities across the country. At its heart is a commitment to supporting players, members, and supporters in building stronger, healthier mindsets—both on and off the pitch.

🌱 A Focus on Mental Wellbeing

The initiative is centred around a simple but powerful concept: the “Five a Day” approach to mental wellbeing. Over the coming weeks, the club will explore five key themes that promote positive mental health, encouraging everyone involved to take part in a meaningful journey of awareness and self-care.

From mindfulness and physical activity to connection and reflection, these themes aim to create lasting habits that benefit individuals and the wider community.

🤝 Community at the Core

Dohenys Ladies are working closely with organisations such as Ladies Gaelic Football Association and Cork LGFA to bring this programme to life. The club’s involvement highlights its ongoing dedication not only to sport, but to the wellbeing of its members and the wider Dunmanway community.

🎉 What to Expect

Supporters can look forward to a variety of fun and engaging activities in the weeks ahead—from group events and challenges to awareness campaigns and interactive sessions. These activities are designed to bring people together, spark conversation, and promote a positive approach to mental health.
