The big event for Coolmine TC is the resurrection of the Dublin Bay Cycle this year, and it's one we really need everyone's support on. The date has been set for Sunday the 17th of June and is part of the National Bike Week. So dust the cobwebs off your bikes and get ready for the big event!!     

The cycle will start at 10am sharp from Howth and we will cycle, with Garda escort to Bray.  The cycle itself will be along the scenic Dublin Bay and promises to be a great day out.  After the cycle we will get refreshed and refuelled in the Martello Hotel, Bray were we'll have a BBQ and relax.  

So what are you waiting for, register here now!

Well done to all of our 21 clients who graduated last week. It was a great evening, full of family, friends, new clients, staff and supporters. The event was then followed by food and entertainment in Coolmine Lodge. Well done to everyone! Our CEO, Paul Conlon, congratulates the clients, families, friends and supporters.

Last year saw the launch of Coolmine Therapeutic Community’s new weekly radio programme on Phoenix FM 92.5.  This programme is aired every Friday at 11.30am. Each week we’ll be bringing you the latest on Coolmine TC, interviews with clients and topics related to addiction so make sure to tune in!  

Check back also as soon we'll have the facility to put our weekly programmes up our website!

Coolmine is the only women & child residential treatment service in Ireland with a waiting list of 15 mothers, and 2 expectant mothers, wishing to access this service.  Although we are the only one in Ireland we receive no specific funding for it so we really rely on your generosity to keep this service operational.  One of the major barriers for women accessing services is that they do not want to be separated from their children. Currently we only have resource for one child care worker which means we’re restricted in terms of dealing with the demand.
