Irish Red Cross – Looking for Volunteers to give Therapeutic Hand Care

Irish Red Cross looking for volunteers to give

 Therapeutic Hand Care  in the care facilities of Millstreet area.

 

The Irish Red Cross community support team is well established in Millstreet/ Kanturk Community Hospitals. We would like new members to join our team.

 

Full training will be given, and one becomes a member of Irish Red Cross.

Safeguarding and garda vetting will be provided.

 

No past experience is needed, and volunteers will be trained to give a thorough and safe therapeutic hand care and massage to residents in the local hospitals and other venues in our locality.  Provision of the service can help promote a sense of wellbeing for clients and a regular friendly visit from a local community volunteer.

 

The relaxing effects of the massage is very beneficial, especially for those with painful or stiff joints, it can improve flexibility and suppleness, boost morale of patient and it’s a means of communication through touch and spending time with the person is the most valuable aspect of the service.

 

We also get involved with other events locally or regionally.

If you are interested in finding out more about this established service in our area,

please contact

Margaret Crean on   087 2212864 .

Millstreet in 1974 – Hall’s Pictorial Weekly

Hall’s Pictorial Weekly was an early comedy series that ran on RTÉ from 1971 to 1980. Each week, the ‘Hall’s Pictorial Weekly’ film crew would arrive at a town or village in any county in Ireland. They would film the people and the place and return to RTÉ where the footage was edited and put to music. This short film of around one minute’s duration formed part of the opening sequence for that week’s episode. As it was not advertised as part of the programme billings in the RTÉ Guide or newspapers, people watched in the hope it was the turn of their town or village to have its moment of fame. In  the summer of 1974, it was Millstreet’s turn, with video sequences from the Square, Main Street, and the West End.

Enjoy, and if you recognise any of the people in the video or the images below, please do let us know.
