The Bungalow is a place where everyone is accepted for who they are rather than what they are-where everyone is made to feel very special Cherry Orchard is a local authority housing estate with 1700 households. In 1990 the first houses were built on a green field site in Cherry Orchard and people were moved from the inner city and housed in Cherry Orchard. People used to the support of close inner city communities found themselves isolated in the new estates, they were housed but had no supporting facilities or amenities. The Bungalow grew out of the need for people to get to know one another and to build friendships and their community. With the support of The Daughters of Charity who had moved into the area and Dublin City Council who provided the small bungalow local mothers came together and began some cookery courses, childminding was available for mothers who wanted to attend classes. From these small beginnings the Bungalow flourished and in 1998 entered the Family Resource Centre programme and became a limited company with a voluntary board of management employing a small team of core staff offering a range of first step education classes. The Bungalow has been at the heart of the Cherry Orchard community and is always ready to respond quickly to local needs. The building has increased in size over the years with the latest extension being completed in 2009. The Bungalow serves the people of Cherry Orchard and surrounding areas and offers a range of first step education courses. Courses offered include:

Thank you all so much for joining us at the Bungalow Christmas party this morning. It was wonderful to see everybody together. We enjoyed plenty of delicious food, lovely tea, and the wonderful performance from the ukulele group—what a joy it was to hear their songs.

We truly hope everyone had a lovely time. Thank you to each and every one of you for coming.

Please God, we will see everyone again in January of 2026. Until then, we wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year.
From all the Staff
