Galway community repurposes old building as hub for Ukrainian refugees [View all]
A disused school building in Newbridge, Co Galway, has been converted into a hub to receive Ukrainian refugees.
The communities of Newbridge and Ballygar came together to prepare the building, which closed 11 years ago.
A new kitchen was fitted and heating and electricity systems were reinstalled, and the building was also repainted.
It is hoped that the building will provide temporary accommodation to Ukrainians arriving in the area, as well as a space for people to meet and socialise.
