The Anchor is an educational youth centre for boys from the age of 9 to 18+.
Membership is arranged on a year-to-year basis (from September to August). Newcomers are welcome to participate in activities for a 4-week period before they joined formally, to familiarise themselves with the centre’s ethos and to get to know the leaders and other members. After the 4-week period a Membership Application Form must be filled in and the annual fee must be paid in full to continue taking part in Anchor activities.
The current annual fee is €50 (for two brothers it is €80, and for three brothers €100). A small supplementary fee needs to be paid each week (on arrival at the centre) to contribute to the running costs of that particular week’s activity. It ranges from €2 to €4 depending on the activity.
