What your organisation does

The organisation has been set up to address social and economic disadvantage in a deprived area by providing a range of support services to bring about personal self development of parents and guardians within the Greater Maghera Area and Mid-ulster Council Area and to improve the live chances of the family unit. This will be done by delivering a

range of childcare services for families. The organisation will also deliver after-schools care for the same families. These services will be delivered both to Irish-speaking families and non Irish-speaking families, however due to the lack of general statutory and services through the medium of Irish we make particular efforts to ensure that services are available in Irish where none exist elsewhere. Cúram Teoranta has prepared plans for the re-development of it's site to provide a family-support centre including the above activities.
