The Housing Agency research on pad lived experience roles across Ireland

The Housing Agency conducting research on paid Lived Experience roles across Ireland.
Lived Experience roles are those that require the employee to have first-hand experience of the field in which they are working. For example, a Family Support Worker has experience supporting family members with mental health challenges or navigating community resources, while a Migrant Support Worker is a migrant themselves. People in these roles are ‘experts by experience’. Common job titles for this type of role include Family Support Worker, Migrant Support Worker, and Peer Support Worker.
If your organisation employs anyone in a similar paid capacity, please contact Carissa at carissa.dieli@housingagency.ie to ensure your work is included in this research or to learn more about Lived Experience roles.
Please note: This is a mapping exercise, so we only need to know if you do or do not employ people in such a capacity and will not need to interview any employees.

National Heritage Keepers Programme Opens For New Round of Applications: Discover the treasure on your doorstep!
|
Burrenbeo Trust is thrilled to announce that the latest round of the National Heritage Keepers Programme is now opens. Over 150 groups and schools have completed the free programme to date. Heritage Keepers are now looking for community groups and senior classes of primary schools to take part in its highly anticipated fourth round.
Through a series of online workshops Heritage Keepers empowers groups and schools to delve into their local heritage and provides funding to allow them to take positive action. Rather than seeking to separate built, cultural and natural heritage the programme works on the principle that all aspects of heritage are very closely inter-linked and that these aspects work together to create our distinctive Places.
In the previous year, 70 schools and communities participated in the programme, with the majority successfully completing local funded projects and actions. These actions included exhibitions, heritage trails, tree planting, podcast creation, booklets, wildlife ponds, oral history projects and ‘Place Celebration’ days. Funding for fieldtrips is also provided meaning participants get to visit local heritage sites in person rather than just learning about them online. Previous participants have highly praised the programme with one primary school teacher commenting “Its more than just talking about helping, its actually doing something”, and another participant saying “It definitely brought us together as a group and we are delighted with what we achieved”.
The programme consists of five engaging two-hour workshops, followed by dedicated support while completing the funded action. Closing date for application is Friday 4th October.
For more information and to apply visit www.heritagekeepers.ie or email for more information info@burrenbeo.com

These events will be developed to meet the particular interests of various parts of the community including younger people, older people, new communities, sports clubs, business people and people with particular needs.
The programme of events is being made possible by a generous grant provided by the National Parks and Wildlife Service under its Peatlands and Natura Community Engagement Scheme 2024.
We will be taking small groups of 20 or so and giving them a tour of the wetlands, including the Cosmic Walk, bird hides, and ponds. We will be giving people hands-on experience with the equipment that is used in exploring nature and monitoring the environment. We will have some discussion about how each of us, within their own boundaries, can help become part of the movement to protect the planet, as well as the challenges and barriers to our doing that. And we will have some refreshments and some music to help things along. And, depending on the group, we will have quizzes, treasure hunts, or up-cycling workshops.
You are welcome to come as an individual, but it will be much more fun as part of a group. So talk to any group of which you are a member and arrange for a few of you to come along. We plan to arrange over 20 sessions throughout the Autumn so there is bound to be one that suits you.

Her Heart Matters: Know the Signs of Heart Attack
|
Symptoms of Heart Attack in Women
One in four women dies from heart disease and stroke each year, the same as men. Yet, women are less likely to recognise heart attack symptoms and take longer to seek medical help. The Irish Heart Foundation, supported by the Department of Health and the HSE, are launching their Her Heart Matters campaign this September, to help women care for their hearts. The good news is that 80% of premature heart disease and stroke is preventable through healthy lifestyles. Running throughout September, the campaign provides practical information and supportive tools for women.
If you are concerned about your risk of heart disease, talk to your doctor. Use the tips on our website to start the conversation.
Knowing the symptoms of a heart attack can help you get timely treatment. Common symptoms include:
- Chest pain spreading to the neck, shoulder, and left arm
- Difficulty breathing
- Dizziness
- Vomiting or nausea
- Sweating
Less common symptoms: Back pain, Stomach pain, Extreme fatigue
These symptoms can also occur in other conditions, so don’t ignore them. If You Think You’re Having a Heart Attack. If you think you’re having a heart attack, call 112 or 999 immediately. A heart attack is a medical emergency. The faster you get treatment, the less damage there will be to your heart.
Stay as calm as possible while waiting for help. Take deep, slow breaths and do not drive yourself to the hospital. To learn more about heart attack and how to protect your heart, visit www.irishheart.ie
