1. Enhancing the Christian experience: Our heart is in offering a Christian-led approach through our staff and facilities. We will continue our focus in welcoming all guests and groups including churches, missions and colleges.
    

2. Wellbeing and employment development for women: Women are core to the objectives of the YWCA, therefore we seek to develop employment opportunities for those needing refuge.
    

3. Expanding local community connections: The local Greystones community is undergoing extensive change due to its proximity to Dublin. New communities are developing and we want to respond by providing space for charity events and community activities such as art classes, music facilities and facilities for local school groups. We will particularly focus on engaging with, and developing programmes for, the local youth through the provision of a drop-in centre and cafe on Trafalgar Road.
    

4. Increasing international relevance: Coolnagreina is proud of its long partnership with Taylor University in Indiana, USA as well as its appeal for international events and organisations such as the Special Olympics and Volunteer Services International.

In view of the memorable experiences of previous guests, and the reassurance conveyed by the YWCA’s commitment and ethos, the 'improved' Coolnagreina will achieve even greater connection and enjoyment for those who experience it in the future.

"We wanted to come here because of the stories, experiences
and enjoyment of others"
