Huntstown Family Resource Centre CLG

Our mission statement is to promote, enable and facilitate inclusive activities, which embrace and address the educational, social, cultural and recreational needs of the local community in a safe, warm welcoming and friendly environment. Building a better community for all.
Our vibrant center is situated in the heart of Huntstown and is owned by the community of Huntstown with the support and funding from state agencies. This is an ever growing and changing area. Since its inception in 2001 the center prides itself in servicing and adapting to the needs of the community. The center and what is provided facilitates every age range from zero to pensioners. The center has grown over the years from strength to strength pushed on by a very forward thinking volunteer Board of Management and dedicated managers and staff.
The static show we live in a predominantly private housing estates with the newer part used for the rental market. Huntstown has small pockets of poverty and depravation. These people would slip through the net if they were not supported by Huntstown Community Centre. The Centre is a one-stop shop we are here to provide, help and support when and where we can. We consider our centre a gateway for the community to access information/supports.
Volunteering and civic pride plays a major role in our community centre and the centre actively seek and encourage volunteering. To volunteer create an extremely positive chain reaction it helps all ages to connect and is a good example of how a community work, this is demonstrated through the many different activities that the centres are used for.
