Croí na Gaillimhe (CNG) opened it’s doors to service users in autumn 2009. Since then, the Resource Centre has established a strong track record in the delivery of service to older people and family supports for people living in Direct Provision. CNG works with three groups of people at risk of poverty – older people living alone, adults with low education attainment, asylum seekers, migrants and their children. We offered a broad range of activities and courses for older people: a lunch and social club twice a week throughout the year thus providing social contact and other practical supports. Classes and workshops: art,
computers, siel blue (targeted exercise programme), creative writing, sewing and mending and a knitting club. We provided a range of adult education courses for those not so old.
