The Barnardo’s Thrive Project, based at the Dunanney Centre at Rathcoole’s Rathmullan Drive, aims to “transform outcomes” for children and young people in the estate and nearby Monkstown.

It is a partnership between local parents, schools, community and voluntary organisations and statutory agencies working together to help children and young people in Macedon and Threemilewater District Electoral Areas to “achieve their full potential and have the best start in life”.
