St Munchin’s Community Centre, are holding a sponsored sleep-in on June 26, from 7am – 7pm, to raise funds and support for the Centre, with sponsor cards been made available at the centre.

St. Munchin’s Community Centre has had an active role in promoting and developing community involvement within the Parish since its establishment in 2005. The Community Centre has developed a broad representative base from within the Community.

We aim to be an approachable, energetic, motivating and developing group who will assist our community to develop a sense of pride and reach its full potential. Our aim is to achieve this through supporting development within our community, networking, identifying and responding to needs and issues.

Linda said “The running costs are high because we’re open from 3.30am until 10pm, we open every Saturday and we do one Sunday a month. The Department of Social Protection are great, but we’re basically run on Social Enterprise.”

“We do an awful lot of activities that we’re not funded for. People think we’re very well funded but we’re not. Just running the grounds for a week costs about €2,000, so the sleep-in is about raising funds to run the Centre”.
