Our journey since 2004
Since opening our doors in 2004, LeChéile Donnycarney Community and Youth Centre has become the focal point of Donnycarney and the surrounding areas. We aim to benefit the community by organising, managing, facilitating, and coordinating activities and services that address educational, social, cultural, recreational, and spiritual needs.
An inclusive community for all
We pride ourselves on being inclusive, and our service users are of all ages, ethnic, religious, and diverse backgrounds. We are open for an average of 75 hours over a 6-day week with 65/70 activities running weekly and have an average of 2,500/3,000 attending activities every month.
Within the Centre we also have, Donnycarney Youth Project, an Independently owned Montessori and Afterschool, Dublin Ladies Gaelic Football Association and Prosper Fingal.
LeChéile Donnycarney is governed by a voluntary Board of Management, and the team is made up of a centre manager, an administrator, 5 caretakers, and volunteers from the community.
