Nethercross Day Centre – Open Day Success

Respond’s Nethercross Day Centre, located at Tolka Valley Finglas, held an open-day in 22^nd April.

Nethercross has provided a lively social haven for people within the local community and essential service for older people in the greater community for the last nine years. The ‘open-day’ provided an ideal opportunity for family friends and neighbors to visit the newly decorated facility where tours were conducted throughout the morning.

The Day Centers bright new ‘look’ was totally funded by public contributions and Nethercross is very grateful to the people for their excellent fundraising efforts including Breda Scanlon for her hair-raising head-shave, The Cardiff Pub for their continued support and to all our clients who support our raffles.

Every day attendees at Nethercross enjoy a happy environment and take part in a large range of outing and activities including bingo, arts and crafts, musical entertainment, activation games etc. The Centre also provides chiropody, optician and hairdressing services.

David Doran Centre Manager at Nethercross stated that:

“Respond is delighted to work in partnership with TUS and would like to thank John Caffrey  for designing and contributing three months of volunteering work designing and decorating the Centre”.
