Farewell and Good Luck to Bridie Barry
Many thanks to all who attended our AGM last Monday, 22nd April. There was great representation from across the community, with a lot of good discussion and feedback on the centre's achievements over the previous year and plans for the year ahead.

We also said goodbye to Bridie Barry, who, after many years of dedicated service on the Board of Management, has stepped down. Many thanks to Bridie for her hard work over the years. You'll be missed!

Great news everybody...at long last Southend Family Resource Centre has a place to call home.

We are about to complete the signing of contracts with Wexford Borough Council to take possession of Seaview House (pictured) in Maudlintown. The Boat Shed is located on the grounds of this house already, and we envision a multi-use community facility, with space for all ages and groups on one dedicated site.

We are hugely grateful to Co Wexford VEC, through the Young Person's Fund for Services and Facilities programme, for providing the funding for this exciting development.It promises to herald a new era for the Centre, where it belongs, at the heart of the community.

The next step in the process is to send the job out to tender and we hope to start work in the coming months.

While we have secured the money to develop the house to a habitable and useable state, there won't be a lot left over for decoration, equipment or landscaping (to name but a few examples), so you can expect to hear from us in the not too distant future, when we will be seeking a big dig-out from the community in getting this job done.

Well done to everyone involved to date in this huge achievement!

Did you know that a group of women from the Centre staff and the community are undertaking this year's Flora Women's Mini Marathon to raise money for this year's Summer Fun Programme?

We will be running the 10km race in Dublin on Monday 3rd June and we'd greatly appreciate your support. You may hear us knocking on your door and there are also sponsorship cards available at the local Londis shop and here at the Centre also, so please give a little if you can.
We have a weekly get-fit meet up to help us prepare. If you'd like to come along to the Centre at 3pm on Tuesdays, we will be heading out to The Rocks to do a little light training. No experience or commitment required! Why not come and just enjoy the walk and the fresh air?
