June 2025 - Swimming Event
In June 2025, the Cork branch organised a swimming pool day exclusively for women and children at a local swimming facility. The event was a tremendous success, attracting over 50 attendees. It provided a valuable opportunity for community members to engage in physical activity and social interaction in a comfortable, inclusive environment.
Due to the high turnout and positive feedback, we plan to make this a regular occurrence. This initiative reflects the branch’s growing momentum and commitment to fostering community well-being. The Cork team, although relatively new, has rapidly gained traction and enthusiasm, consistently delivering impactful activities.

Our first-ever Pre-Ramadan Bazaar in Cork was held at Nemo Rangers and brought together families and individuals from all walks of life. The event featured food stalls, puppet shows, arts and crafts, and beautiful henna designs, creating a festive atmosphere in anticipation of the holy month of Ramadan. The bazaar also served as a platform for community engagement and support, with attendees donating non-perishable food items for Cork Penny Dinners. This was an important initiative that embraced diversity and demonstrated our commitment to supporting those in need across the Cork community.
