FRC has operated within our purpose built building in Dara Park since its opening on the 19th of April 2004. The service itself grew out of the ‘Happy Morning Women’s Group’ which was established and developed by local people in September 1996. The ‘LHD’ Centre (Lakeside, Highfield and Dara Park) was then housed in a three bedroom house in Dara Park until the opening of the Resource Centre itself in 2004. The Centre is run by a Voluntary Board of Management and has a staff team of a Coordinator, a part-time and a full time Development Worker, a part time Administrator, a Child Care manager, seven childcare staff, and five Community Employment workers. The Centre is funded by TUSLA and Pobal and its work is supported by Kildare County Council, the etb, Solas, Kildare County Childcare Committee and other agencies

✨ A Very Special Visit to Our Community Centre ✨

On 29 May 2026, we were honoured to welcome President Catherine Connolly to our community centre for a wonderful afternoon of conversation, connection, and celebration.

The President met with members of our community groups including The Golden Girls, Singing for Well-being, We Grow Group, Ukrainian & New Communities Support Group, Men's Group, Mens' Shed, Youth Club, Pins & Needles, Women's Group, and the Newbridge Disability Access Group. Each group shared their experiences and showcased the incredible contribution they make to building a stronger, more inclusive community.

From music and creativity to friendship, well-being, learning, advocacy, and support, the visit highlighted the positive impact that community groups have in bringing people together and creating a sense of belonging for all.

A sincere thank you to President Connolly for taking the time to meet our members, listen to their stories, and recognise the importance of community-led initiatives. It was a memorable day that will be treasured by everyone who attended.
