Ballyroan Community & Youth Centre Activities
At Ballyroan Community & Youth Centre, We have a range of activities available for all ages. Whether you are looking to take part in suspension training classes, make friends over a game of bridge or looking to join our youth theatre club we have something for everyone, you can see below a list of the available activities that take place in the centre.
Active Age
The focus of our Active Age initiative is to provide a range of activities for our age 50+ Community. Currently, this includes the Friday Club, Men`s Shed, Trips and Visits, Monthly get-together evenings and Elderly alarms.
Bridge
Bridge is well established in the Ballyroan area and attracts a growing following. We have Bridge lessons running throughout the week. On Sunday nights we host a Bridge social night.
Fitness Activities
We offer a wide range of activities to keep attendees fit and healthy! Activities include pilates, yoga, tai chi, strength and conditioning classes. Ask at reception or email programmes@bcyc.ie for more information.
Meal on Wheels
The provision of meals is an invaluable service within the community and provides hot and nutritious meals, four days per week from Tuesday to Friday. This enables people to continue living at home in the community rather than going into a nursing home or sheltered accommodation. The areas we cover are primarily Ballyroan, Rathfarnham, Knocklyon and Templeogue. We have over 150 volunteers supporting the operation.
Volunteers
Over many years, our volunteers, now totaling over 170 people, have formed a most important part of our operations at the Centre. We rely on them for the successful operation of our meals-on wheels service, both cooking and meal delivery and also for providing valued support in the Café, Reception and Active Age Club.
