Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland, opens Ballina SVP's new home management centre.
Former President of Ireland, Mary Robinson, cut the ribbon on Ballina St Vincent de Paul's newly-refurbished Home Management Centre on Friday 17th February. Classes have being ongoing there for the past 15 years to teach participants cookery, nutrition and budgeting skills. It was decided to refurbish the centre in order for students to have a more “hands on” role and to have a better working environment.
Funding for this project partly came from SVP’s charity shop proceeds and from Mayo North East Leader programme to whom SVP is grateful.
Following the opening, Mrs.Robinson attended the Ballina Network Group’s Spring meeting – a meeting which is organised by SVP and is attended by voluntary and statutory bodies in the loosely termed “caring sector”.
