Check out the facilities we have available at both the Convent Community Centre (CCC) and St. James’ Hall. These include halls with stage areas; meeting rooms; a digital hub; conferencing facilities; classrooms, a Changing Places location; kitchens and we even have a fully kitted out Snooker Room!
Athboy CCC and St. James' Hall
We run two community facilities in our town: Athboy CCC and St. James’ Hall. These are more than buildings, they are centres for the community offering spaces for groups, individuals/remote workers, conferencing, classes, events, concerts, and much more. With a broad spectrum of community, business, sporting, recreational and wellbeing active groups utilising both locations, these facilities are at the heart of our community in Athboy.

This training ensures that our team is equipped to recognise, respond to, and report any safeguarding concerns appropriately, helping to create an environment where all users can participate with confidence, knowing their wellbeing and safety are a priority
