Deputy Mayor, Councillor Margaret-Anne McKillop is shown the new studio at Body and Mind Garvagh by owner, Kathleen Doherty.
A former butcher's shop in Garvagh village has been restored and transformed into a wellbeing centre as part of a regeneration project supported by the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council.
The derelict building is now part of the growing business of Body and Mind Garvagh wellness centre which offers alternative solutions for treatments and therapies.
The new space will cater for classes, workshops, events and training for 14 yoga or pilates mats or 30 seated people.
Body and Mind Garvagh will also be able to welcome teachers, trainers and workshop facilitators.
“At the minute, I have a studio but it was not set for purpose, it was too small, there was no toilet and it was too noisy. This one is bigger and has got a disabled toilet. I'm going to be able to run daily training and events,” said Kathleen Doherty, Wellness Center Body and Mind owner.
This initiative will expand the diversity of classes and training available for the Garvagh public.
“This new health and wellbeing studio will allow Body and Mind Garvagh to grow the business by welcoming teachers, trainers and workshop facilitators to hire the new facility and offer a variety of classes and training to members of the public, both locally and from further afield,” said Councillor Margaret-Anne McKillop, Deputy Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens.
This initiative is partially funded thanks to the COVID Recovery Small Settlements Regeneration Programme.
This programme addresses long-standing issues in villages of less than 5,000 people. It aims to tacklebrural poverty and isolation and to revitalize the countryside by encouraging people to live, work, visit and invest in the area.
“I am very grateful to all the Departments involved in providing this funding to bring a derelict building back into economic use and of course, to Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council for its assistance,” said Councillor Margaret-Anne McKillop.
Other places to benefit from the fund include Burnfoot, Bushmills, Dernaflaw, Dervock, Drumsurn, Dungiven, Garvagh, Gortnaghey, Greysteel, Kilrea, Magilligan, Mosside and Rasharkin.
Causeway Coast and Glens Council said that the works will be completed by the end of March 2024.
