Feel Good Armagh Community Networking Event 2024

On Saturday 15th June 2024, the Feel Good Armagh Community Networking Event was held on The Mall in Armagh.
This free event was organised to help all ages of the communities in Armagh to find out what support and opportunities were available on their doorstep.
Over 50 services and organisations held information stands to inform the public (and each other) of what they provide, and activities were held for children along with historical walking tours of The Mall and music and food were provided too!
