Smart D8 For A Healthy District

Empowering Community Health & Wellbeing

Smart D8 is excited to announce comprehensive health and wellbeing initiatives next year in collaboration with various organizations across Dublin 8.

We aim to foster a healthier and happier community by offering classes and workshops open to workers and residents in Dublin 8.

These initiatives will take place from January until May 2024 in various areas, including The Liberties, Inchicore, Rialto and Dolphin’s Barn. They will be free of charge and open to workers and residents in Dublin 8.

These events are designed to cater to diverse age groups and cover a range of themes, such as healthy food and eating, physical activity, successful and positive ageing and mental health.
