South Roscommon community centre under pressure after Covid lockdown

A South Roscommon Community Centre is urging the public to get behind a vital fundraising drive for the service.

St John’s Community centre in Lecarrow has seen it's income dry up over the last 18 months due to the pandemic's effect on fundraising.

The centre, which provides a base to a range of local groups, has now had a Go Fund me campaign started to keep the doors open as Covid restrictions continue to ease.

The campaign has so far raised over €3,000 out of an original target of €10,000.

Speaking to Let's Talk today, David Diffley from the centre says they need support to make sure it has a future.
