Feel Good Dungannon Community Information Day 2025

Posted on by

Feel Good Dungannon was a vibrant community information and networking event, designed to showcase the wide range of local services, programmes, supports and activities available across the wider Dungannon area for people of all ages.

Bringing together over 40 organisations from statutory, community and voluntary sectors, the event offered a unique opportunity for the public to engage directly with service providers, while also enabling organisations to strengthen connections and explore opportunities for collaboration.

On the day, attendees benefited from free Health Checks provided by Verve Health Trainers and there was the opportunity to attend the innovative Autism Reality Experience Bus, this provided attendees with greater awareness and a deeper understanding of autism. The overarching aim of Feel Good Dungannon was to inform, signpost and inspire, while promoting wellbeing, inclusion and connectedness across the community.

A promotional graphic for the “Feel Good Dungannon Community Information Day,” held on Saturday 27th September 2025 at Hill of The O’Neill & Ranfurly House. The left side features event details on a white background with red and purple wave accents. On the right, three circular photos show people engaging at information stalls inside a marquee and holding an event leaflet. The CYPSP (Children’s & Young People’s Strategic Partnership) logo is displayed in the bottom right corner
