The coming together of all the Community Sector Organisations based in Moneymore for Pride of Place Awards kick started the current work to establish a Community Hub in the area. In 2018, concerned about the growing demand for their support services & their lack of space to accommodate that demand, Connect Family Resource Centre, Foroige Cable Project, Moneymore Afterschool and Moneymore Community House LTD and volunteers met with the CEO Louth County Council & Louth Local Development to look at the feasibility of building a Community Hub that would address the need identified by the services to provide a recreational and social space for the community. Since 2018 there has been significant progress. A site has been identified on land between Moneymore & St Laurence’s Park with a design concept been broadly agreed and will include space for the existing services, a community hall, coffee shop, gym, IT space, community garden as well as rooms for hire.
