On Tuesday, a group of 32 from Nua set off together for a three day trip to Kerry, and what a time they had! From exploring Muckross House and Torc Waterfall to dancing the nights away at the Gleneagle Hotel, every minute was filled full of fun and great company.

They took in the sights along the Ring of Kerry, visited Di**le Aquarium, and even enjoyed a private boat trip. Before heading home on Thursday, the group wrapped things up with a scenic walk through the Gap of Dunloe.

Plenty of memories made, and lots of laughs along the way!

We’re delighted to announce the upcoming opening of a brand-new CLaD Hub in Tullamore, County Offaly. Located on Main Street, directly opposite Millennium Square, this centrally positioned space is just steps away from shops, parks, and community amenities, making it an ideal setting for learning and connection.

CLaD stands for Continuous Learning and Development, and our Hubs are dedicated spaces where individuals can take part in meaningful programmes that promote education, independence, and personal growth. From practical life skills and creative workshops to digital literacy, community engagement and tailored training, the Tullamore CLaD Hub will offer opportunities for people to learn in ways that are empowering, enjoyable, and suited to their individual needs.

The Tullamore Hub will also act as a base for exciting national and international excursions, cultural exchanges, and specialist programmes that support broader learning experiences beyond the classroom setting.

We look forward to sharing more updates in the coming weeks as we prepare to officially open the doors to this vibrant new learning space.

Over the past few weeks, Nua’s Mobile CLaD Hub has been travelling to scenic locations across Ireland, combining education with exploration and community connection.

From Ballina in County Mayo to Enniscorthy in County Wexford, Gort in County Galway and the beautiful Ducketts Grove estate in County Carlow, the Hub has been delivering engaging educational and social programmes in inspiring outdoor settings. Along the way, the team has connected with amazing individuals, groups and services including Windmill Therapeutic Services and Reach Ability.

But what is the Mobile CLaD Hub?

It’s a mobile learning space that brings education to life by delivering programmes in Ireland’s most beautiful natural and cultural locations. From beaches and forests to parks and heritage sites, this approach encourages creativity, curiosity and a lifelong love for learning.

The team is actively working with County Councils and community partners to build a calendar of regular programme locations, and we’re excited to see where the road takes us next.
