The Board of Directors greatly appreciates the ongoing support of the Presentation Congregation. The availability of this property in a prime location enables the Centre to operate in the midst of the local community. The recently renovated building is warm, comfortable and very conducive to learning. We do not take the automatic presence of heat and light for granted and are very aware of the ongoing costs met by the Presentation Sisters to cover heat and light.

The City of Dublin ETB has supported the Centre since its establishment in 1995 with teaching hours. We now receive core funding that meets the cost of staff salaries and teaching hours for tutors. We also secure funding through the Back to Education Initiative (BTEI) for other specific programmes.

We acknowledge and appreciate the funding but also the ongoing support for community education in general.
