Old School New Kitchen

 

We have made many improvements to the Old School Community Centre in recent years, including upgraded toilets and new windows, but a recent updating of the old kitchen is something else!

Thanks to a grant from Pobal CCIF, we have installed a state-of-the-art kitchen.

The facility was welcomed by existing groups Hollyfort Book Club and Hollyfort Writers, and we hope new groups will take advantage of the centre.
