"The community gym has exceeded our initial expectations to such an extent that all board members have been volunteering their free time to provide reception and administrative duties. This voluntary commitment will help us to sustain and keep running costs to a minimum therefore securing a bright future for the building! Free classes have been organised in the gym between now and Christmas to provide residents with opportunities to participate in zumba, yoga, circuits and other activities.

First Minister visits Taughmonagh Community Forum
Christopher Stalford MLA and Arlene Foster MLA visiting the forum
Mrs Foster spent a significant amount of time learning how Taughmonagh Community Forum has been developing the estate over the last 20 years. She was particularly interested in our successful Scribbles childcare business, and the need for Scribbles to extend in size by hiring ground floor space in our new healthy business centre. Scribbles currently employs 15 people which will increase whenever the new centre is built.
Mrs Foster and Mr Stalford were given a tour of our current facilities, met with some staff members and before leaving expressed thanks to the forum for our work whilst wishing us every success for the future.
