• Looking for an opportunity to help keep young people safe on the farm?

  Wicklow Local Community Safety Partnership has secured funding from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine to provide FREE Tractor Safety Awareness Training for young people aged 14 years and over.

  These one-day courses, delivered by Farm Relief Services, will take place in Coolboy on 15th, 20th and 21st July, with additional dates coming in August.  Booking is required.

  The course is designed to teach essential tractor safety skills, promote safe farming practices, and build confidence in a supervised, hands-on learning environment led by experienced instructors.

  If you're the parent or guardian of a young person who lives or works on a farm, this is an excellent opportunity to help them gain valuable practical skills and improve their awareness of farm safety.

  Places are limited, so email communitysafety@wicklowcoco.ie 

  or call Trish on 087 381 9730 for more information on how to book.

  Wicklow to Bray Head2Head is due to take place on Sunday 19th July with funds raised going towards the Bray Senior Community Fund. These funds help cover the cost of the annual Christmas Party that has run for the past 26 years in Bray. This event is specifically for the elderly in our community, who face significant social challenges including social isolation, being victims of crime and those facing financial difficulties.

  Organised by Youth and Community Workers in Bray, Wicklow Firefighters, Community Gardaí and other local Emergency Services, the walk will begin in Wicklow town - The Murrough - Newcastle -  Kilcoole - Greystones before finishing with a family fun day at Bray Bandstand (approx 35kms along coastal routes). 

  Updates relating to start times will be published closer to the event.

  Anyone who wishes to participate in the event will receive a Tshirt and refreshments on the day.

  Come out and join the craic with your local Emergency Services for a worthy cause!
