No matter what your charity investment strategy, you want to see your money having a long term impact.

Consider this. Despite charging very low and often zero for admission to activities, we manage to make a modest surplus every year. This is because of the fantastic support we receive from the people of Cork. With those modest surpluses we built and equipped a recording studio, a fully functioning canteen, a radio station, an art house cinema, a dark room for photographers, a contemporary dance studio, a theatre, opened the second largest art gallery space in Cork, and prepared 22 artist studio spaces. In addition we provided space for numerous groups to rent at very low rates to accommodate diverse workshops, once-off training programmes and activities in widely varying areas including puppetry, bodypainting, ceramics, art for mental health, choirs, multicultural dance and musicianship.
