THE UPPER ROOM IS A DROP-IN CENTRE IN MULLINGAR PROVIDING A SPACE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO HANG OUT AND FEEL AT HOME AFTER SCHOOL.

We opened our doors for the first time on 2nd February and have averaged between 35 and 60 young people attending each week. Based in Mullingar, Youth for Christ Ireland recognised that there was a need for young people to gather in a safe place, where they could meet with friends old and new, and be encouraged to engage with our trained staff who are situated in every room.
