Guided by Community, Driven by Vision
Managed with care by Tramore Development Trust—a voluntary group shaping Tramore’s future.
The Coastguard Cultural Centre is operated by Tramore Development Trust, a not-for-profit, community-led organisation responsible for its restoration, development, and day-to-day management—part of a wider commitment to revitalising Tramore through local projects, employment, and long-term planning.
Tramore’s Coastguard Station is a not-for-profit enterprise and a registered charity. Many of the team at the Coastguard Station are working on CE and TUS schemes and the enterprise is delighted to be able to provide local employment and training opportunities.
Our projects include the conversion, opening and management of the Tramore Coastguard Cultural Centre, the creation and management of the Lafcadio Hearn Japanese Gardens, the conversion and refurbishment of the former Friends Meeting House into an After School Childcare Centre plus the preparation of the Tramore Community Plan which firmly places a focus on the future development of Tramore.
Tramore Development Trust was established in 2000 and is registered with the companies office with Company number 327523. It is also a registered charity and is registered with the Revenue Commissioners under CHY14771 and the Charities Regulator of Ireland at CRA 20049027.
