Mini Marathon Time Again

Join team Homelink/Easi-Cab at this year’s Floras Mini Marathon and help us to continue to run the services. Give yourself a challenge and make new friends.




Easi-Cab provides a wheelchair taxi service covering South Dublin and all of East Wicklow. Our aim is to get people who might not be able to get to public transport out and about. Homelink was set up to support older people in our community. The service provides a friendly call to keep people in touch, basic maintenance for home and garden and coffee morning to meet up with old friend and to make new ones.

Happy Christmas

With Christmas just a few days away, I would like to say a very Merry Christmas to all our members and a Happy New Year from all the staff here at HomeLink.

New member of the HomeLink Team

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen. My name is Gary and recently I've joined the family here at HomeLink. My job will consist of managing and updating this blog so no member will miss out on any fun activites coming up....Whether it be something small like a coffee morning or a Library Information Morning to something as big as a Party. We will be sure to post about it here, so keep your eyes peeled.

Activities for the Elderly - Bowling

When you live in a country that has long cold wet winters, outdoor activities are not always possible. So what to do during those winter months? Bowling! Bowling like golf, is not particularly strenuous and is a game that can be enjoyed either in a group or individually. Most bowling alleys typically offer early bird specials, or some sort of senior citizen discount so why not get a few of your friends together and start a weekly bowling league, you'll surprise yourself with how enjoyable it is.

Activities for the Elderly - Garden Walks

Garden walks are wonderful activities for seniors who want to experience quiet environments, while enjoying nature. This is especially true for beautiful spring, or autumn days. Many parks offer guided garden walks through botanical gardens and in Dublin the Botanical Gardens have a super website detailing all that is coming up. In Wicklow we have the lovely Kilmacurragh Arboretum, the world famous Powerscourt Gardens and the stunning Mount Usher Gardens.

Get out those walking shoes and flora/fauna books, make the most of the gorgeous summer weather and go enjoy Mother Nature.
