We provide a range of service to the community & young families such as group & activities, after school activities, counselling, art therapy, classes & short-term programs.
We serve the people of the Greater Kenmare area aged 0 – 100years!! The FRC program in particular focuses on the well-being of families with young children.
From cooking classes for adults (including some amazing international cuisine) to arts and crafts for children there is always something going on.
South Kerry Development Partnership and Kerry County Council have contracted Ian Dempsey, Prescience, to develop a socio-economic plan for Kenmare. This plan will be linked to relevant national, regional and local plans and strategies and the process will develop a vision and action plan for the social, economic and environmental development of Kenmare. The plan will seek to build on the town’s undoubted strengths while seeking to mitigate its weaknesses, ensuring that active citizenship, social inclusion and social equity is maintained; that economic development opportunities are optimised and that the attractiveness and quality of the public realm and the built and natural environment is enhanced.
To lay some of the groundwork for the preparation of the plan – Ian Dempsey has prepared a questionnaire (link below) on Survey Monkey for completion and circulation. Please distribute this questionnaire and encourage people to complete it.
Please note that all replies received are anonymised and confidential and will only be used for the purposes of this survey. Thank you for your support.
