About Us
The Cobh (Great Island) Community Centre is an amenity open to everyone in Cobh and Great Island and we very welcome new visitors from far and wide.
Come in, have a look around, join a group or two, or three…
We look forward to meeting you!
Gwen is the Manager of the Centre and works closely with the Board of Management in developing the Community Centre and it’s services within the wider community of Cobh. Lorraine, Melissa, Catherine, & Claire are all part of the team and are integral to the day to day operation of the centre.
The Community Centre is lucky to have John as our Maintenance Supervisor along with our dedicated Caretakers: Alan, Michael & Paul. From 7am – 7pm, one of the caretakers will be around ready to give a helping hand. The Centre also could not function without the many volunteers who help us in so many ways.

We are always looking for volunteers to keep our centre operating and serving the community, and to help make sure our space is accessible to all. If you have a couple of hours free and you would like to help our local community whilst also meeting new people please call in or phone on 021 4815904
