“I’ve been at Sligo CTC for 2 years now and whether it is to fill a gap year, get fitter and healthier both physically or mentally, or to further your education, Sligo CTC is the perfect place to be. All staff are very welcoming and will guide you in whatever direction in life you wish to choose. During my time in the centre I got to know more about myself and what I would like to do as a future career. I have decided to go back to college to study sports science/nutrition”.
