`Congratulations to Déise Day Centre on their entry to the 2019 Cooperation Ireland National Pride of Place competition. Competition judging took place on the afternoon of Tuesday July 2nd and a fantastic time was had by the judges, the Centre members, staff, management, volunteers and friends of the Centre. The Pride of Place judges, John Fitzgerald and Declan Nelson, arrived at the Day Centre at 1.30pm on ‘Saoirse’, (the trishaw that the centre uses in conjunction with Waterford Sports Partnership) to be greeted by Pipers from the Dungarvan Pop-up Pipe Band.

Centre Manager, Margaret Coffey delivered an extensive presentation showing us all what services are provided to the elderly in our community. This includes a Day service, transport, a hot meal, entertainment and activities. Meal delivery to Dungarvan, Abbeyside and as far as Newcastle Co. Tipperary on their Ballymac run.

Mary Poppins -
Summer concert 25th July 2019
Our Day Centre is alive with the sound of music every Thursday morning, when our “Young at Heart” Choir get together under the watchful eye and expertise of Musical Director Michael Casey and Elaine Cummins.
Our Choir practices every week with great energy, enthusiasm and devotion. “Young at Heart” are growing from strength to strength and this summer, we hosted our version of the musical “Mary Poppins” alongside the pupils of “The Stage Coach”. We were also entertained on the night by the very popular local musicians De Banned.

Launch of Tri-bike
July 19th 2018
In 2018 we acquired `Saoirse`, a trishaw bicycle, with help from Waterford Sports Partnership.
This is operated by our trained volunteers, they come to the centre and give our members spins around the town and on the Greenway.
Our members love it, they really enjoy the experience and the chance to `get the wind in their hair`.
We launched Saoirse in Walton Park June 2018 and every journey continues to be a delight for our members.

`Train on the Greenway`
Sept. 5th 2017
In September 2017 we organised a `Train` on the Greenway. Our objective was to `share` the Greenway experience with people of our local community (not just our members) that would never be able to walk or cycle on the Greenway. 280 people got to enjoy this experience. We also showed a movie and an exhibition about the old Train from Waterford to Dungarvan in the Centre on the day. To make all this happen we had to enlist the help of our valued volunteers. It was a wonderful day that brought great joy to everyone!
