The Grace Centre was established several years ago by Patricia O Callaghan, a social worker, to fulfil the need for a family resource centre for Clonakilty with it's growing population. The centre has grown in size and demand. It is a not for profit enterprise and there are several cois-ceam counsellors who provide counselling services at reduced rates. There are various programmes run for mothers and toddlers. Saturday's host men's and women's events and Sunday the centre is utilised by a community church group.
