Newry, Mourne and Down PCSP to Host Safety and Wellbeing Event

The Newry, Mourne, and Down Policing and Community Safety Partnership (PCSP) has organised a free walk-in Safety and Wellbeing Event. The event will take place in Newry Leisure Centre on Tuesday 4 March 2025 from 10am to 2pm.  It has been organised by the PCSP in collaboration with Start 360 an organisation that delivers a range of person-centred services to young people, adults, families and communities across Northern Ireland.

The safety and wellbeing event, open to all members of the community, will feature a mocktail bar and over 20 exhibitor stands. This year, the event will also feature a road safety demonstration at 11am by the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS), where the public will be able to watch as the Fire Service demonstrate on a vehicle, how they deal with cars and passengers who have been involved in a road traffic collision.

Chair of Newry, Mourne and Down PCSP Cllr Terry Andrews said, “Throughout a time of collective challenges, we as a PCSP feel it is important that residents of Newry, Mourne and Down know what local support is available for them and how they can access these resources to improve their wellbeing and keep themselves safe.

We invite those of all ages to attend this free drop-in event where we will have key workers in the safety and wellbeing field there on the day to provide help and offer some friendly advice. I would encourage the public to drop into the event in Newry Leisure Centre on the 4 March between 10am and 2pm, as it may provide information which could make a difference in their own day-to-day lives.”

A range of other organisations are attending the event and will provide information on drugs and alcohol use, mental health support as well as information on local support services and groups available in the district.

We invite everyone to our free drop-in event at the main hall in Newry Leisure Centre from 10am until 2pm and attendees are encouraged to come along and have a chat with local service providers.
