ST JOHN BOSCO YOUTH CENTRE

St. John Bosco Youth Centre is a community resource which provides pursuits, amenities, programmes and activities which seek to develop young people personally, socially, educationally and recreationally in a high-quality, safe environment that respects its users. All programmes and activities are delivered in ways which help to empower young people and develop their leadership skills – participation is therefore voluntary. The individual needs, preferences and personal situations of the young people who use the Centre are respected and the most marginalized in the community are catered for.

PEARSE COLLEGE OF FURTHER EDUCATION,CLOGHER ROAD

Pearse College Allotments

Pearse College has developed some of the land around the college to set up allotments. This was done in conjunction with Dublin City Council and the local community.

The piece of land in question has been used for educational purposes for over 40 years and the development of these allotments in the first instance is a direct result of the interest and needs of the courses within the Environment Department in Pearse College:

• Amenity Horticulture
• Organic Gardening

• Architectural Draughting

• Computer Aided Design
• Sustainable Construction Technologies
• Landscape Design
• Sustainable Landscapes

There are 90 plots in phase 1 of the project. A further 20/30 plots will be developed in phase 2.

The plot holders are for the most part local residents drawn from the Dublin City Council, Crumlin and Drimnagh Allotment waiting lists.

This area of Dublin has a long tradition of allotments and in recent times the number of people wanting them far exceeds the amount available.

Many of the plots have been taken up by families and groups of friends.  Therefore the Pearse College Allotment community is made up of between 90 and 200 individuals.

There is a waiting list for the next set of plots to come on stream.

Contact the general office in Pearse College on 01 4536661 to add your name to the list. The annual fee for a 80m² plot is €200.
