During the year CTSC runs a number of
workshops on health in partnership with
local agencies. We run women’s and men’s
health days, healthy eating programmes and
offer access to the local gym.

We have been successful in accessing the
Building the Community Pharmacy Partnership
monies and as part of this have been able to
offer a health programme for the local
Traveller women in partnership with our
local Pharmacy.
CTSC is involved in the All Ireland
Traveller Health Study and as part of this
we have a co-ordinator from the project who
has recruited 4 Travellers women to become
peer researchers. The peer researchers will
work in partnership with CTSC and conduct
the research with local Traveller women to
feed into the all Ireland health study. For
