Healthy Ireland’s vision for health and wellbeing incorporates both physical and mental health. Good health means everyone achieving his or her potential to enjoy complete physical, mental and social wellbeing, and is much more than an absence of disease or disability.
The Healthy Clare Micro Fund supports community and voluntary groups wishing to undertake specific 'Health and Wellbeing' projects under the relevant categories of the scheme.
