Music Matters has a new Office!
Some of our wonderful and dedicated volunteers at Music Matters have been exceptionallybusy over the past few weeks, as we have been painting and decorating our new office!
We would like to thank the Social and Community Development section of Dublin City Councilfor their advice and support over the past few months, and for providing our new office spaceWe are now based in St Paul's Resource Centre, Blackhall St, Dublin 7, which is nearthe Smithfield LUAS stop and the Law Society of Ireland
This office space in Smithfield is for volunteers to meet up on a regular basis, to planrehearsals, concerts andother events. Computers and laptops will be provided in the comingweeks, so the volunteers can work together on different projects and administration duties, asopposed to working from home.
Many people from the local community will benefit from the new refurbished officespace, which had been disused for some time. Music Matters also hopes to organisechoral workshops for the local community, which will take place in St Paul's ResourceCentre in the next few months.

Royal Canal Clean-Up DayOn Saturday 10th October, the monthly clean-up of Dublin's Royal Canal took place at sixdesignated points in the Northside of Dublin City.This clean-up was organised by Dublin City North Volunteer Centre and was the mostsuccessful clean-up so far!
The canal clean-up ended at 12.30 PM and the volunteers went to Hedigan's Pub (aka "TheBrian Boru"), Prospect Road, Glasnevin, for some well-deserved lunch and goody bags!
After lunch, we performed on stage. We sang three songs - the Dublin favourites - "MollyMalone" and "The Auld Triangle", which contains references to the Royal Canal, and a Disneyfavourite "Chim Chim Cheree from "Mary Poppins"
