Newtowncunningham Community Playgroup (NCP) has been established for over 20 years, providing an interdenominational childcare service for the local areas of Newtowncunningham, Burt, Killea and Manorcunningham. To enhance their service, NCP needed to expand beyond their current confines, to meet the community’s pre-school needs in conjunction with the new Early Childhood Care and Education Scheme. A loan has been approved by UCIT (Ireland) to finance remedial works required to develop the new childcare facility.
