Profile:

Strabane Community Project was first established in 1987 by a group of local volunteers. Its original aim was to provide local people, mainly the elderly, with a place to meet up for dinner and socialise with others.
Since then our charity has grown, and now provides a variety of services for the wider community. We work alongside other organisations to offer services such as befriending, educational programs, holiday clubs ie summer scheme, food and heating support, and employment support and other programmes tailored to meet the diverse needs of our community members.
The Walled Community Garden & Allotments also provide a green space for the community to meet-up and grow their own.
We also manage the Grassroots Cafe (social enterprise) and the Grassroots Learning Hub on John Wesley Street which provide town centre locations for fostering positive community relations and engagement.
At Strabane Community Project, we believe that by offering these services, we can empower individuals and build a stronger and more inclusive community.
