A NEW hub for businesses, social groups and start-ups will be officially opened in Buncrana later this month.
The Exchange at Castle Avenue opened its doors last year bringing a number of local community groups and social enterprises together under the one umbrella.
The non-profit company behind it, Exchange Inishowen Ltd., identified the old social welfare exchange as a suitable building for their needs and set about converting it into a community and enterprise hub.

"The official opening will be followed by an open day with music and refreshments where everyone will be able to tour the building, hear from those who have used it recently, and see the services we have to offer.
