Welcoming Rob Carry to the WHIS Ireland Team
We are delighted to announce that Rob Carry is joining the World Health Innovation Summit (WHIS) Ireland team, bringing with him a powerful combination of community leadership, entrepreneurial energy, and a deep commitment to social impact.
Rob is a leading figure in the Bray community and is closely involved with BLOC Gym on Boghall Road, where a wide range of training programmes and group activities are helping people engage in fitness, build confidence, and connect with others.
Beyond this, Rob is the founder of Jai Sua Muay Thai and has played a key role in driving community-led health initiatives. He is also the chairman of Cabhair, a youth mental health charity that provides access to therapy for young people, and works closely with local wellbeing initiatives in Bray.
Rob’s passion for addressing mental health challenges and creating inclusive, supportive environments is closely aligned with WHIS’s mission to tackle health inequalities and promote holistic wellbeing.
David Kerr, Chair of WHIS Ireland, said: “Rob represents exactly the kind of leadership we need across Ireland—deeply rooted in community, with a clear passion for improving lives through health and wellbeing. His work in Bray, particularly in supporting mental health and creating inclusive environments, speaks for itself. We are thrilled to welcome him to the WHIS Ireland team.”
Gareth Presch, Founder and CEO of WHIS, added: “At WHIS, we believe that real change happens at a community level, where innovation meets compassion. Rob’s work across fitness, mental health, and social impact embodies this approach. His leadership and commitment to prevention and wellbeing will be invaluable as we continue to grow WHIS across Ireland and beyond.”
Rob’s experience, energy, and commitment to meaningful social impact make him an outstanding addition to the WHIS Ireland team.
