Drogheda’s long-awaited Youth Café, BoomerangCafe opening on Sunday 8th September. What had been a dream, a hope and ambition for seven long years was suddenly a reality. The Youth Cafe filled with young people and the sound of laughter and chat filled the air. Life has well and truly been breathed back into the old Carnegie Library on Fair Street.

The WhiteLight team have long been supporters of BoomerangCafe and have campaigned hard to raise funds, raise awareness and develop the brand. It was a very proud day for us to see the doors open and we are so thrilled to have been part of the efforts.

BoomerangCafe is designed to provide support for young people, to be a drug and alcohol free safe place for them to meet friends and have fun but also a place where they can access support if they need it. BoomerangCafe will be open seven days a week. Opening hours will be 9.00am-9.00pm Monday to Thursday, 9.00am-10.00pm on Friday, 12.00noon to 10.00pm Saturday and 2.00-6.00pm Sunday afternoons. Membership is just €10.00 per year per young person. You can find out more about the service by visiting: www.boomerangcafe.ie or by dropping in to see the team at 62 Fair Street, Drogheda, Co. Louth.
