A new Family Learning Centre has been opened by the Department for Social Development in Dungannon, County Tyrone.
The new £260,000 centre is based at St Patrick’s Primary School and will provide an IT suite, along with a large multi- purpose room that will be used by the school children during the day.
The centre is to run a series of parenting support courses in the evenings, including English language, computer training and wellbeing practices.
Social Development Minister Nelson McCausland said: "Parental support, knowledge and involvement are critical to the success of each child. This Family Resource Centre, which lies at the heart of the community, will offer invaluable services and support to both children and parents, including many parents from the migrant community, by providing much needed activities and educational courses."
The Family Learning Centre will also be made available to the local community in the evenings and at weekends.
