The Richard Branson Centre was packed on Monday when the island community gathered to say a thank you to nurse Jackie McGlynn, and to wish her all the best for the future.
Welcome to the revamped Rathlin Community website!
We have changed the look and the layout of the site, and we hope you will like it. The new version of Rathlin Community is intended to further improve communication within the island community, and to better inform the wider public about Rathlin and what the island has to offer.
After a couple of meetings this summer, it was agreed to invite someone along to Rathlin with experience elsewhere in helping small businesses make the best of local opportunities and developing services for local and visiting customers.
