We are a local community and youth centre, meeting as many of the local needs as the premises will allow. We are open from 7 am to 11 pm. Our aim is to promote health and well being, inclusion, diversity and learning. For example, one of our latest projects is Cairde, designed to assist parents with the care of their schoolgoing children, through provision of anutritious breakfast., walking bus to and from local schools and hsomework support. This project meets elements of all five of our strategies, and is a great success. A long running service we provide is Meals on Wheels, supported by 140 volunteers and funded by the HSE. Pobal and South Dublin County Council provide various grants to support our work.
