Every town has people who quietly help shape what it becomes.
For the first ever episode of Voices of Greystones, Terry sits down with Fatima Alvarado — originally from Venezuela, now a Greystones resident, mother and community builder.
Fatima shares the story of arriving in Ireland more than a decade ago, the unexpected path that brought her to Greystones, and the moment the town began to feel like home.
She talks openly about belonging, family, faith and the simple decision to create something for the people around her. What began with a few free outdoor wellness classes grew into the Greystones Wellness
Hub and, eventually, a wider vision for bringing people, businesses and community together.
At the heart of the conversation is a simple idea: when we recognise what other people have to offer, something changes.
This is a conversation about finding home — and then deciding to help make that home better for others.
🎙️ Voices of Greystones is produced by High Tide Studios in the heart of Greystones, County Wicklow.
