Fingal Community County Register
The “Fingal Community Services and Groups Registry” is an initiative of Fingal County Council and Fingal Public Participation Network (PPN).
It serves as a database of all the active community and voluntary, social-inclusion, and environmental organisations in Fingal — helping connect people with the right groups and supports in their area.
Play Therapy
Play therapy offers a safe, child-friendly space where children can express thoughts, feelings, and difficulties through play — especially when they find it difficult to express themselves in words. It’s a path to healing, emotional development and resilience. Children can learn to make sense of their world, build self-confidence, improve communication, creativity, and problem-solving skills.
Why children come to Play Therapy:
- Anxiety / Behavioural issues
- Communication difficulties
- Delayed development
- Attachment, relationship difficulties, separation/divorce
- Bereavement or loss
- Bullying, low self-esteem, poor play skills
- Illness, hospitalisation, fostering or adoption

Welcome Rooms Project
To help provide a network of friendly drop-in locations across North Dublin, Fingal County Council has launched a “Welcome Room” pilot initiative offering welcoming and comfortable environments where people can relax and feel at home.
As part of the pilot programme, Parslickstown House, along with Rivervalley Community Centre and Corduff Community Resource Centre, will open their doors to provide free, friendly and supportive spaces for the public. Visitors can drop in with no booking required and enjoy a relaxed setting with tea or coffee, books, board games and occasional film sessions.
Mayor of Fingal, Cllr Howard Mahony, said: “Fingal through this pilot programme has organised places where there will be a friendly welcome, a hot cup of coffee and an inclusive space that people can gather to feel better connected to the community around them.”
Marie McKay, Chairperson of the local board of management of Parslickstown House, said: “Parslickstown House takes pride in operating at the heart of the community. A Welcome Room will offer an inviting environment for people to come to, whether it’s for some company, a reassuring smile or just to find somewhere to relax in comfort for a while.”
There is no need to book to attend a Welcome Room and visitors are welcome to stay as long as they wish, with opening hours displayed at each location.
