Donaghmore District Community Association (DDCA)
Donaghmore District Community Association (DDCA) was formed at the beginning of 2006, and is a combination of various elements of our local community who have all come together to strive towards building a more sustainable future for all sections of the community. DDCA is a non - profit making organisation, whose aim is to develop the economic, cultural, sporting and general social aspects of the community, and most importantly DDCA is a cross - community organisation who represents the interests of all of those associated within the community.
At present, the most important work being undertaken by DDCA is the finalising of plans to develop and build a new community infrastructure on the current site situated at Churchview, Donaghmore. This new building will represent a significant investment in the future of Donaghmore parish, as it will become a centre for the community, as well as providing unrivalled facilities for all of the community to benefit from. Just some of the facilities which will be available in the new development are as follows:
- Indoor multi - games hall (4 court SCNI approved)
- Fitness and conditioning suite
- Home and away changing facilities (4 in total)
- Treatment room
- Kitchen and function facilities
- Modern childcare facilities
- Disability access
- Refurbished youth facilities
- Raised ceiling and stage
- 6,500 sq ft of office/meeting space
The purpose of this new state of the art facility is to modernise all facilities for the community. At present, the facilities on-site do not meet the expanding needs of the increasing population in the area. The vision which was undertaken by personnel in the early 1970's to erect the existing building has taken us to where we are at present, it is now time for the community to follow the lead supplied by those people over 30 years ago. This new building will provide the Donaghmore community with unrivalled facilities, the likes of which does not exist anywhere else in the country at present. It is through DDCA, coupled with the help and support of the community, that this new building will become a reality in the not too distant future.
