Third Age has a deserved reputation for innovation, and through a variety of national programmes demonstrates the value of older people remaining engaged and contributing in their own community for as long as possible.

Third Age offers choices and provides opportunities for lifelong learning, volunteering, community development, and social inclusion. Third Age is currently redefining itself for an Ireland reaching towards recovery, focussing its deliberations around four key themes:

• Connectedness

• Creativity

• Challenge

• Collaboration

Third Age is part of the Active Ageing Partnership, and we believe that it is through working together as a sector that we can maximise the opportunities and meet the challenges of ageing in Ireland."

"In 1970 Wilkinstown opened it’s new national school. The school replaced two old schools dating back to the mid 1800’s

Many years later after the school closed a committee was formed to investigate the possibility of converting the building into a community centre, it became apparent the old building was inadequate and a major fundraiser began to fund a new building, by 1990 a considerable amount of money was raised and in 1992 work began.

In 1996 the community centre we have to date was opened, and has serve the community very well over the years. Forward 20+ years and we purchased the a-joining 5 acre field in September 2015.

We now have another major fundraiser in motion to develop the field with a new extension to the building, car park and amenity park all have been granted planning permission by Meath Co. Co. along with a considerable grant.

We hope to break ground in 2020 and get this major project underway. We will have a lot of fundraising events coming u over the next few years to make this project happen and bring you a wonderful community centre to serve the area for many more years to come.

All support in any form is most welcome and we look forward to what the future hold for Wilkinstown. "
