The Involvement Centre Kilkenny is a peer led centre that provides a safe comforting place for people mental health issues to come together and have a place to come sit have a chat and a cuppa. We also welcome people without mental health issues to our centre as well.We run and facilitate activities around art, drama, music, creative writing, poetry, as well as support groups for people experiencing anxiety, depression and addiction. The reason we would love to participate in in the AKA festival is that we have a lot of creative and very talented people within our centre and it would give them the opportunity to showcase this to the wider community. It would give people a chance to come and see and experience what the Involvement Centre and the talent that our members have to offer.

This is a free, open event. Please feel free to drop by any time during the day!
