It has been brought to our attention, that some people are leaving their bins out, sometimes for 24 hours, in places that be sometimes difficult for those in wheelchairs, those with prams and buggies and those with a visual impairment.

Can we please ask if people can put their bins in a better place ( where possible)for collection/storage?

Many thanks for your consideration 🥰

This summer, St Anne's Shandon embarks on one of its most significant programmes of conservation and heritage work in recent years — and we need your help to make it happen.

Thanks to the generous support of Cork City Council, the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Heritage Council, we have secured over €180,000 in grant funding for 2026. But these grants don't cover the full cost — every award requires matching funds from the parish. That's why the support of visitors, donors, and our community matters so much.

Works beginning this summer include:

🔔 Bell tower waterproofing — protecting the home of the famous Shandon Bells from water ingress
🪜 Front steps repair — ensuring safe and welcoming access for all who visit
🪟 Window conservation — caring for the historic windows of the nave
♿ Accessibility feasibility study — taking the first steps towards improving access to the church
📚 Green Coat School conservation study — beginning the long work of caring for a remarkable piece of Shandon's social history

Works are being overseen by James Burke Architects, with Hearthstone Building & Restoration carrying out the physical work on site.
