The Centre is the location of offices for Kildare Youth Services, Breaking Through, Kildare Leader Partnership, Green Oak Marketing and Paul Hogan Architects.
Youth Room
The Youth Room was repainted and redecorated over the summer, with a fresh/modern new look. The project was supported by funding from the Kildare County Council Community Grant Scheme. A custom Minecraft wall mural was painted by local artist Brian Walsh, which features themes and symbols of Leixlip in a Minecraft style setting. Brian has also worked with Leixlip Tidy Towns on several outdoor improvement projects around Leixlip, and will be in attendance at the Open Day.
We invite everyone to come along and see what’s on offer at your local Community Centre.
