Charity centre saved from closure ‘but funding still desperately needed’

A CHARITY centre catering for dozens of voluntary groups in Dublin has been saved from imminent closure.

The Carmichael Centre on North Brunswick St, home to 45 charitable organisations, was set to close due to the lack of funding.

As recently as two weeks ago, letters were issued by the Board of Directors to all resident groups and the centre’s staff were issued with redundancy notices.
