Clare Lodge is a Society of St Vincent de Paul holiday home situated in Newcastle, Co Down which has been providing short breaks to thousands of mobile senior citizens from throughout Northern Ireland for over 30 years.     It has outgrown it's purpose in its present form and now requires a complete transformation. Residents stay in dormitory type rooms with communal bathrooms. It has been unsatisfactorily altered to allow it to comply with fire regulations and disabled access is difficult   The current building is generally not considered satisfactory for the long term sustainability of a holiday home.   Our aim is to rebuild Clare Lodge and replace it with Northern Ireland's number one Holiday Centre. We have a dedicated fundraising committee who have been working tirelessly to raise the much needed funds to transform Clare Lodge.   To rebuild we require £2.5m and already over £500,000 has been raised.
