Yesterday I got a chance to speak to one of the directors of the LDYN Ballinrobe, in the Tacύ Resource Centre on Glebe Street, Ballinrobe. I was curious to see the new plans for the new location of the facility.
LDYN Ballinrobe has just procured this building and renovation has begun. The LDYN (Lake District Youth Network) Ballinrobe is hoping to be running many youth and family programs in which students from all over the Lake District area can attend at there new facility. The name Lake District was used by the centre, as the facility covers many towns and areas from Tourmakeady to Roundfort and areas from Balla to Cong.
LDYN Ballinrobe is hoping to have many youth groups such as No Name, to be able to have access to the facility to do there own events like dance classes or computer courses, the management of the facility are all in favour of promoting anything that will keep our youth of today safe and off the streets.
The Tacύ Centre also runs a number of programs through out the week such as Aware on Thursday nights, parent and toddler classes, male cancer support and a writers group, so from the second you walk in the door the place is bursting with projects, information, classes and much more. The Tacύ Resource Centre also has speakers who come in and give a casual chat on the area they work in or a subject in which they are familiar with, recently they had Joanne Heins from the local chemist up town giving a talk on medication.

So with the plans in place and the contractor on site the LDYN is looking forward to six months time where hopefully the facility will be open and ready for use.
