Killeeshil Community Centre Association was established to promote and provide educational, cultural, social, and recreational needs for the Killeeshil area and wider area. The objective of the association is to address the lack of accessible community facilities and services in the area through the maintenance of an appropriate multi- purpose
community facility The direct benefit of which flows from purpose 1 (citizenship and community development) is to provide a central location for the local community to come together and assist in the development of the community and wider community as a whole for present and future generations to enjoy. By arranging drama, singing, dancing, job club and exercise classes all in the hope that social inclusion is promoted along with community volunteering. Also to promote health and well- being e.g. Open Door Club which promotes social intervention for elderly people in the area.
