Duhallow Community Laundry Celebrates 10 years
Duhallow Community Laundry was established in 2014 in response to issues raised by our Carers and older people Networks. They highlighted the need for a laundry service for our elderly, lowincome households, and carers in the Duhallow region. We’re delighted after ten years to see the positive impact this social enterprise has in Duhallow. Duhallow Community Laundry provide a free collection and delivery service as it was identified that access to transport was a barrier for many of our customers; we see the importance of this weekly in the numbers that utilise this service. The Laundry also provides meaningful
employment and training opportunities; we’re grateful to Pobal and the Department of Social Protection for the staffing support through the Community Services Programme, Tús, the Rural Social Scheme and the Community Employment Scheme.
