North Burren Community Centre

Overview

The community centre will be a place where we can come together for music, art, theatre, sport and wellbeing - or even for a cuo of tea. The need was supported by commumity surveys and meetings held in recent years. This building will assist in bringing the North Burren community closer together and to support the growth of a range of activities.

Background

The North Burren Community Group (“NBCG”) covers the parishes of Bellharbour, New Quay, Carron and Noughaval. This group was established to address the need for a community space in this part of North Clare. NBCG, in collaboration with Michael Cusack’s GAA club, are leading the development of this building. This community centre will be a central venue for friends and families to meet and participate, addressing rural isolation, loneliness (particularly prevalent in rural Ireland) and lack of services for young and old
