    Nenagh Easter creative camp for children with a lifelong physical health condition

    FREE Creative camp for children (8 - 12 yrs) with a lifelong physical health condition.

    Helium Arts empowers children with lifelong health conditions through creativity and the arts, giving them an opportunity for connection, belonging, imagination and joy. They provide activities to children attending the Outpatients Paediatric Department at University Hospital Limerick and in the community. A unique element of their community programme is the provision of paramedic support at camps which provides peace of mind to the families of the children.

    Registration of interest in their programme is now open and an Easter workshop for children aged 8 – 12 with lifelong physical health conditions will take place in Nenagh (15th – 17th April).
    Supported health conditions include diabetes, epilepsy, asthma, juvenile arthritis, heart conditions, spina bifida, hydrocephalus, cystic fibrosis, cerebral palsy, allergies, rare and complex conditions and more.

    Visit https://helium.ie/workshops/nenagh-easter-camp-ages-8-12/ to register or visit https://helium.ie/workshops/ to sign up to hear more about the programme or to receive further information, they also provide online camps.

    Camps will also take place in Ennis & Limerick as part of the Mid-West region Creative Health & Wellbeing project funded by Creative Ireland https://helium.ie/workshops/
