MOTION NO. 10

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"That the chief Executive considers the Council depot known locally as the "coffee shop" on Greenfort Gardens for use by the Quarryvale Family and Resource centre. They are willing to seek funding and to fundraise to bring it up to a useable standard and are willing to submit a full plan if the Council will consider this request. At Quarryvale Family Resource Centre, the focus is on supporting the family, and thereby the whole community by offering activities and programmes that strengthen the individual and the family, giving them tools to cope with everyday life as well as with larger issues and problems, and support them as they move on with their life. The activities and services include child care in there creche, adult education, counselling, holistic therapies, family supports, parenting programmes, information and advice, support groups etc. QFRC and indeed Quarryvale and the surrounding area would benefit from a dedicated building to expand services and provide a one shop stop for all these much needed services’’
