Welcome to the Catalysts website.

For those of you who are new to us, we are a thriving group, whose aim is to provide ‘Activity in Body, Mind and Spirit’ for the over 50’s in Sligo and the surrounding areas.

We are a Registered Charity, (Registered Charity Number (RCN) is 20102487). We are also part of The Sligo PPN Network – SLIGOPPN-00650.

For the Autumn Term 2025, we will be running Art Classes, but have previously had groups improving their Flower Arranging, learning Italian / Irish, Bridge and Computer Studies. Our members are encouraged to lead the way as to what classes and activities they would like us us to arrange.

On the more active side, we have a lively Walking Group and Boules Group, and we hope to reinstate our Swimming Group in the future if there is sufficient interest.

For many years, each Thursday morning, we have invited speakers from various walks of life, to address our group on a wide range of topics. These range from things historical, environmental, health and well being, to name but a few topics. Members are also encouraged to share their own life experiences and interests.

A programme of activities is issued three or four times a year and a separate Walking programme is available. Both are available here, on our Facebook Page, WhatsApp group and at the Catacombs in a paper format.

A copy of the current programme is available here.

Any updates or changes to our programme will be added to this page, together with other information that might be of interest to our members.
