We are delighted to offer Changing Gears in Sligo this October and November 2026.
Changing Gears is a course designed to boost wellbeing and resilience for those aged 50+ years. It supports people to manage transitions/change in mid to later life. The change may be to do with: retirement, having more free time, bereavement, job-loss, ill health, becoming a carer or relationship breakdown. Its aim is to: help participants to identify what has served them well to date in life, the successes and challenges they have experienced, what supports they have in their lives and what they may need to put in place, and/or discard, for the next stage of life. It aims to lay the foundations for a positive and fulfilling approach to mid/later life.
How does it work?
Changing Gears runs over 5 weeks with weekly sessions of 2 ½ hours. It offers participants time to:
– Develop skills and techniques build resilience and confidence in managing life-changes or transitions
– Reframe change as opportunity with positive options and also challenging negative stereotypes about ageing
Venue: MCR Sligo Active Age, Mail Coach Road, Knocknaganny, Sligo Dates: Tuesdays 13, 20 October (gap of a week) and 3, 10, 17 November 2026 Times: 10.30 to 13.00 (Refreshments will be provided)
