Social Development Minister, Nelson McCausland, has announced funding of £179,000 to refurbish the Community Centre at Tullyally in L'Derry.

The project aims to restore the Tullyally Community Centre to a condition where community services can be delivered in a modern and fit for purpose building. The pathway and green spaces surrounding the building will also be improved with work to the paved areas and planting to create a welcoming aspect for local people using the Community Centre.
