The Killaloe Ballina Community & Family Resource Centre

The Killaloe/Ballina Community & Family Resource Centre has built up a huge repertoire of activities, programmes, supports and events from when it  first opened its doors to the community in July 2003 until the present day. In Ryagan House we ran our first courses and youth groups and started accommodating the first outreach services like Citizen’s Information, Money Advice and Budgeting Servbice and the Energy and Environment Advice Service. We soon ran out of space for all the activities and found a new space on the Main Street in Killaloe in 2009 where we first established our Community Cafe. When it became apparent that our location (halfway up a very steep hill) was having an impact on our accessibility we found a more central and accessible premises in the Old Molua Centre on The Green in Killaloe in 2017. The central location of the KBFRC provides adequate parking, spacious rooms and better facilities for both community groups and service users of the twin towns and the surrounding area. 

“We, the Management Committee and Staff of the Killaloe/Ballina Family Resource Centre aim to work with the community to identify and meet ongoing needs, within a friendly, safe, and supportive environment, so that our community will be a better place to live for all.”

The centre offers a wide range of services with an emphasis on Training and Education, Youth Work and Parental Support. We work according the principles of Community Development, including active participation, empowerment and collective action and nurture an ethos of wellbeing through inclusion and equality.
