ABOUT US

Our community centre, located in Rahoonane, plays a pivotal role in supporting residents in the neighborhood and surrounding areas. We maintain the estate and provide assistance to residents. Additionally, we rent out rooms for groups and promote education, training, and community engagement. We also offer access to our Astro Turf Pitch for rent at an affordable hourly rate.

​At our center, we are proud to be supported by the SICAP program, which allows us to offer crucial services to our community. Our team comprises passionate individuals from NEWKD, alongside participants from the CE (Community Employment) and TUS (Tús) programs. Together, we work tirelessly to meet the varied needs of our patrons, ensuring that our center remains a valued resource within the community.
