Tattyreagh Youth & Community Group promotes social interaction among all ages in our community. We do this by focusing in particular on the youth & senior citizens in the community through various projects that have developed over a period of time. In Late 2010-11 the committee undertook a survey to ensure the work we were planning was in keeping
with the needs of the area. A total of 200 surveys were circulated locally, identifying the top 3 areas as: 1 Play Area for children up to 11 years old 2. Crèche & After schools facilities from pre school through to secondary school children. 3. local transport networks for all ages but in particular the senior citizens in our community. We accomplished the development of a community play park in June 2014 and are actively working on the others. In our community we have local events such as youth club nights for the ages of 8-18 & social nights for all ages in the community. There are away days & events to local & regional attractions for example, Annual events for all ages to celebrate St Patrick's Day, Christmas & the New Year as well as Summer Youth Clubs for primary school & secondary school age groups. There is also a Halloween Fancy dress for children. A number of these events help raise funding for the group through admission fees, quiz nights & raffles. On an environmental theme we have carried out litter picks and a bat night involving the local bio diversity officer who helped attract bats in the Halloween Season which was a popular event for young and old. As a community Group we have each year identified in conjunction with the local football club a charity to benefit from our fundraising through the Annual 5 Mile run.
