🌊 Feature Presentation – Marion Bagnall | RNLI 🚨

We were delighted to have Marion Bagnall Hare deliver our feature presentation at last week’s BNI Alexandra meeting.
Marion holds the Charity Seat in our chapter on behalf of the RNLI North Kildare, and she gave us a fascinating and incredibly insightful look into the work of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) and the vital role they play in keeping people safe at sea.

As part of her presentation, Marion shared real-life rescue footage from around Ireland. Seeing the crews in action and the challenging conditions they operate in really brought home the incredible bravery, skill and commitment of the RNLI volunteers.

It was one of those presentations that left everyone with an even greater appreciation for the work that goes on behind the scenes to save lives at sea. ❤️
A huge thank you to Marion for taking the time to share her knowledge with us and for representing such an incredible organisation.

A brilliant presentation for a truly brilliant cause. 👏

Wonderful to see our chapter president Jeanette Delahunty highlighted in the Kildare Now newspaper! This lady has gone from strength to strength and it's been an honour to watch her grow over the last 4 years of her membership.

We’re absolutely delighted to be featured in Kildare Now! 🎉

It was a privilege to share why we created our Adult Neurodivergent Pre-Screening Service and why we believe people deserve access to clear, compassionate and evidence-informed support before feeling they have to commit to a costly diagnostic assessment.

For many adults, the question isn’t simply “Am I Autistic or ADHD?” It’s about finally understanding why life has felt different, making sense of lifelong experiences, and knowing what the most appropriate next step is.

At Inclusive Mind, our goal has always been to make that first step more accessible. Through a structured, neuro-affirmative pre-screening process, we help people explore their experiences, understand whether a full diagnostic assessment is likely to be beneficial, and provide a comprehensive formulation report to guide informed decision-making. This can help many people avoid unnecessary expense while ensuring those who would benefit from a full assessment know where to go next.

A huge thank you to Kildare Now for highlighting this important conversation and helping raise awareness of the challenges so many adults face when seeking answers.
