𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸… 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 & 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁!
As usual, we’re putting together our updated list of Parent & Toddler groups across the Omagh district...but we need YOUR help!
Most of these groups are run by external organisations and community providers, so we don’t always have the most up-to-date information.
That’s where the real experts come in… the parents who are actually out there attending them!
If you attend a Parent & Toddler group in your village or local area, we’d love to hear from you.
Is the group still running?
What day and time is it on?
When does it run?
Is there a cost?
And most importantly… would you recommend it to another parent?
Your local knowledge could make a huge difference to a parent who has just had a baby, moved into the area, or is simply looking for somewhere to meet other parents and let the little ones play.
Tag a parent, comment below or send us a message with the details of your local group.
Let’s work together to make sure our Parent & Toddler List is as accurate, useful and community-led as possible!

📖 Shared Reading Session 📖
Omagh Library
Wednesday 9th September at 12 noon

Shared Reading is a welcoming, non-medical approach to supporting mental and physical wellbeing.

Unlike a traditional book club, there is no need to read anything in advance.

A trained leader reads stories and poems aloud, encouraging relaxed discussion and connection.

Key benefits include:
• Reduces loneliness and social isolation by providing a safe, welcoming space to connect with others.
• Supports mental wellbeing, including anxiety and low mood.
• Encourages conversation, reflection and shared experiences.
• Accessible to everyone, with no pressure to read aloud or contribute.
• Can support people living with dementia, chronic pain and other health challenges.
• Focuses on the person rather than their diagnosis, encouraging self-expression and connection.

To join, telephone Omagh Library: 028 82 440733.
