We had a lovely afternoon today welcoming MEP Maria Walsh and Kildare North TD Joe Neville TD a visit to the ACRE project.

They enjoyed a tour of ACRE and had the chance to meet some of our wonderful volunteers and groups, including the Celbridge Men’s and Women’s Sheds, the ACRE Gardening Club, and our Lawn Bowlers.

It was a great opportunity to share the amazing work, friendships, and sense of community that make ACRE Project such a special place. A big thank you to Maria, Joe and their team for taking the time to visit, chat with our members, and learn about all the work we do here at the ACRE Project.
