Next week the building will open its doors to a new community drop-in facility for residents throughout the area. A host of services will be on site to provide one-to-one, free and confidential advice on a range of issues. If you live in the Loughshore area, and are in need of information and help with accessing benefits health services, advice on money matters, support with farming related issues, or saving on household heating bills, this service is here for you.

The drop-in facility is part of the Loughshore Access Project, a new community initiative organised by South Lough Neagh Regeneration Association. Funding has been awarded by Southern Organisation for Action in Rural Areas (SOAR).
