Celebrating a fantastic Wellness Week 24

Celebrating a Fantastic SBD Wellness Week!

We just wrapped up an incredible SBD Wellness Week, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the turnout and the energy everyone brought to our activities! Here’s a recap of all the great stuff we did to promote health, fitness, and overall well-being within our District!

Sandyford 5K

Our Wellness Week kicked off with a bang as participants laced up their running shoes for the Sandyford 5K. It was amazing to see so many of you come together to challenge yourselves and support one another in this fun and invigorating event.

Darkness into Light Walk in Leopardstown Racecourse

We were very pleased that our inaugural Darkness Into Light Walk held in the scenic Leopardstown Racecourse was such a success! With over 400 walkers, generous sponsors and volunteers, we came together to support suicide prevention and mental health awareness, raising an impressive €11,000 for Pieta.

Talk on Lifestyle Medicine with Dr. Gillian Dagg

We were honoured to host Dr. Gillian Dagg for an enlightening talk on lifestyle medicine. Dr. Dagg shared invaluable insights on how simple lifestyle changes can lead to significant improvements in our health. Her tips on nutrition, exercise, and stress management were truly inspiring.

Free Bike Checks

Cycling enthusiasts enjoyed free bike checks to ensure their rides are in top condition. Our expert mechanics provided thorough inspections and maintenance tips, promoting safer and more enjoyable biking experiences.

7-a-side Soccer Tournament

The competitive spirit was alive and well at our 7-a-side soccer tournament! 10 Teams from the District battled it out on the field, showcasing impressive skills and teamwork. Congratulations to the winners Evelyn Partners, and a huge thanks to everyone who participated!

Free Gym & Fitness Workouts

Throughout the week, local gyms offered free gym and fitness workouts, providing everyone with an opportunity to try new exercises and get moving. From strength training to yoga, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

Health & Beauty Offers

Our partners offered fantastic health and beauty deals, allowing participants to pamper themselves with massages, facials, and other treatments. It was a perfect way to unwind and rejuvenate.

Lifestyle Offers

In addition to health and beauty offers, we had a range of lifestyle deals, including discounts on wellness products and more. These offers made it easier for everyone to make healthier more sustainable choices.

Live Music at Lunchtime

Adding to the vibrant atmosphere, we enjoyed live music performances at lunchtime. Sam Clifford provided the perfect soundtrack for our midday breaks, creating a lively and relaxing ambiance.

We want to thank everyone who participated and helped make SBD Wellness Week such a success. Your support, enthusiasm and commitment to wellness were very much appreciated by us all!
