What type of lodging is provided?
Volunteers stay in Corrymeela facilities in very clean, double occupancy rooms. Most rooms have single beds and small cupboards for clothes, plus a small sink.
What are the laundry arrangements?
Laundry can be done in a laundromat in nearby Balleycastle.
What is the electrical power?
Electricity is 220 volts, 50 cycles AC, and plugs are usually flat three-pin, the same as those used throughout the British Isles. If you bring any electrical appliances, you will need a converter (to 220) and an adapter (the big round double prong version used throughout Europe.)
What is the local cuisine?
The diet in Northern Ireland is traditionally "meat and potatoes," although you'll find the meals in the host community nutritious, colorful and tasty.
Can special diets be accommodated?
Avoiding meat is not a problem; however, it does limit your options because meat is a staple of the Irish/British diet. Most vegetarians can enjoy a broad assortment of fruits, vegetables, soups, salads, and cheese. Volunteers with strict requirements should bring familiar foods to supplement their diet.
Will potable drinking water be provided?
The water at the Centre is potable.
