In a new 2 part documentary on RTE 2, Anna Geary is asking the question "Why Girls Quit Sport?"

Anna had the task of recruiting some teenage girls from a Dublin inner city school, to join a GAA football team. Cameras follow Anna's training sessions and Anna also meets with experts to learn about the ramifications of inactivity on future generations' health and to understand why so many teenage girls are dropping out of physical activities.

Anna is paving the way for teenage girls to continue with sport by example and by urging teens that brains, beauty and training go hand in hand.

Catch up on episode one on RTE Player, episode 2 will be on 22nd July at 9.30pm RTE2

Maia Dunphy, presenter of "What Planet are You on" is also the Energia GIG ambassador.  Energia has partnered with the not-for-profit social enterprise GIY, to launch the "Get Ireland Growing" day on 19th June.

​The project encourages you to enter a draw for 1000 free GROWboxes.  The GROWbox includes everything you need to grow your own herbs and vegetables at home to help power a more sustainable future. This box also includes a bag of Irish Wildflower Beebombs which will help re-create bee habitats and some great rowing tips and recipe cards.

Iconic garden designer Diarmuid Gavin, recently joined forces with Keelings to launch their Great Re-wilding Campaign.

In an effort to address the declining bee and pollinator population and the important role bees play in our ecosystem, Keelings will be giving away 100,000 wildflower seeds which can be redeemed using promotional codes from their special berry punnets.  Each seed pack has a blend of 30 different species which have been expertly mixed and will allow the public to create their own wild flower garden, as summer approaches there has never been a better time to get planting.

Emmy Award-winning TV and Radio broadcaster Baz Ashmawy has launched a campaign with Bank of Ireland to encourage the public to talk about the ​"F Word" or Financial Wellbeing.  It has been proven that by not talking about finance we could risk accumulating debt, missing out on opportunities to save money, or just being unaware of small things that could make a big difference to our overall financial wellbeing.

Bank of Ireland are encouraging customers to build a better relationship with money, take control of their finances, which will  empower them to make better financial decisions for themselves and their families.

Yvonne Connolly and her daughter Ali have been working with Dove to promote their new Self-Esteem Project, which aims to provide tools to help young girls grow up enjoying a positive relationship with how they look. In recent research, the brand found that 87% of the 10 to 17-year-olds they surveyed didn’t have high body esteem.

Yvonne herself has recently suffered a dreadful freak accident when she fell from her horse and completely shattered her face and broke her arm in two places.  Yvonne said that having her accident taught her the hard way to be less self-critical and accept her altered looks, especially as she thought originally that she might loose her eye.  She really wanted to pass on to her daughters and other young people that looks were not the most important thing about a person, she has just learnt to embrace her new look as part of who she now is.

Dermot Whelan has just launched his new book "Mind Full", which has immediately gone in at No1. in the Irish charts.

Dermot is a leading expert on stress management and the book is a no nonsense, incense-free hilarious guide to relaxing the head, reducing anxiety and living a calmer life, without annoying the emergency services. A fantastic read.
