The existing building at Coolnagreina has been modified many times over the years to provide more appropriate accommodation and facilities and to meet the needs of the increasing range of visitors and guests. It can now no longer be upgraded within its current structure so the YWCA have embarked on an exciting building project. The project also includes plans to develop a youth drop-in centre using Cooleen, otherwise known as the man-house! The new building will include and allow:

• 25 spacious en-suite bedrooms (accommodating up to 75 people)
• An increase in the number of conference and training rooms
• A library/reading room
• A youth drop-in centre or café

Plans of the new development are available on request.

The total cost of the project is €3 million.

If you would like to assist financially or in any other way help continue the work at Coolnagreina, please talk to the manager, Jonathan Ellis or click here to visit our donations page. We would be happy to help with any questions you have.

In order to act as a staff residence and as a youth centre and in order to retain the character and historic importance of the site, the two existing houses will be retained as part of this development project.
