Community Needs Analysis Deadline

We would like to appeal to all who received a Community Needs Analysis Questionnaire recently to make every effort to return their completed questionnaires to any member of the group or to drop them into the Post Office or Noreen's shop by Friday next 4th December.

The feedback from the community needs analysis will be an important part of informing the group on the actual needs of the community. 

The results will be published on this site once they have been analysed.
