Thanks to everyone who attended our Roma Healthy Heart Day this week at Pavee Point. It was a difficult week for the Roma community, and other minority ethnic groups, given last week’s violence fuelled by the far right in pursuit of a racist agenda. This left many Roma feeling frightened and vulnerable.
Our event was to promote health within the Roma community in collaboration with the Irish Heart Foundation. The IHF gave a presentation on heart health and everyone got a blood pressure check.
Smoothie Bike Ireland gave people a chance to test their fitness by cycling while also making a healthy smoothie. Who said keeping healthy can’t be fun.
