The Kathleen and Michael Connolly Foundation (UK) Limited granted £125,000 towards the £250,000 cost of a new activity centre.

This is named Kathleen Connolly House and supports over 2000 people a year who have queries regarding disability benefits which they may be entitled too, as well as being a hub for community activity.

The forum was left needing a new home after the council planned to re-develop the site where it was originally based and The Foundation provided professional advice from beginning to end as well as funding.

Upon completion of the project Michael Connolly handed over the keys to the newly constructed premises which were built by Connolly Homes.
