The Rush Multipurpose Youth Facility (RMYF) will be reopening soon. Located at the Millbank, just across the road from Rush National School, this newly refurbished facility brings fantastic opportunities for local youth and community groups. The whole building has been upgraded to a very high standard. The facility is bright, spacious and warm. The ground floor of the premises is accessible for people with disabilities.
The facility is a newly refurbished building that is committed to fostering a positive and inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. It is run by the RMYF voluntary board, whose members are delighted to see the facility reopen for the benefit of the people of Rush.

Speaking about the facility reopening Declan Murray, Chairperson of RMYF Voluntary board said, “Discover the newly revitalised Rush Multipurpose Youth Facility a beacon of community spirit and growth in our area. Committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment, RMYF stands as a cornerstone for positive youth development and community engagement. Our new facility and resources cater to individuals, organizations, and groups alike, fostering a culture of collaboration and support. RMYF is poised to enrich lives and empower our community.”

The large multipurpose room downstairs is suitable for larger groups, for dance and physical activities and for a homework club. Other rooms are of varying sizes to meet the needs of different groups. There are spaces suitable for music, dance, pilates, youth work, group activities, one to one counselling, for older groups, training and development. Three Foróige groups will be active in the facility and Millbank Theatre will be running an extensive Drama programme for young people.

The voluntary RMYF Board consists of: Declan Murray, Des Burke, Fintan Price, Margaret Dobinson, Valerie Croghan, Nicole O’Keefe and Brian Dennehy. Representatives of Fingal County Council, the owners of the building, also attend Committee meetings.

The refurbishment was funded by Fingal County Council, the Leader Programme and RMYF.
The Community Department of Fingal County Council provides ongoing management assistance funding and support.
