Creating Community: connecting online and more

Flordon Community Facebook Group

The Community Group was established during covid lockdown times and now has over 130 members.  You can check it out here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1011094359367209/

The group's founder, Hannah, writes this: "When we moved to Flordon a few years ago, I could see that there were signs of a community spirit but was so busy with work and home life that I was happy enough just saying hello to the neighbours when I saw them. Fast forward to the end of 2020 and I found myself at home on maternity leave during a national lockdown and suddenly I felt like I really wanted to find that community and be part of it.

"As an alternative to stalking people on my walks (no, really!), I set up the Flordon Community Group on Facebook. It seemed like lots of other people also wanted to be part of something as more and more kept joining, enjoying sharing memories of the village. Now we have over 100 members and are thinking to the future when we might be able to see people in real life AND know their names!

"The group is also there for questions, advice and sharing news and photos of anything Flordon related. If you aren't already a member just click the link above and ask to join."

With over 60 members, there is also Flordon Yellow Pages on Facebook for buying/selling and promoting local businesses.

Flordon Film Club

Flordon Film Club will be screening Small Things Like These (2024) 12A (drama)  in St. Michael's Community Centre Wednesday 9th April 2025 . The doors open at 7.15pm and the film starts at 8.00pm. Duration 98 mins.

Based on the novella by Claire Keegan. Bill Furlong (Cillian Murphy) is a coal merchant in small-town 1980s Ireland. Everybody in the town knows that the local convent is one of the infamous Magdalene Laundries, but everybody feigns ignorance because the nuns have far reaching power and influence in the community. When Bill, himself the child of a single mother, finds a bruised and shivering young woman locked in the convent coalshed on a bitterly cold December day, he knows that any action on his part will cost him dear.
