Kilmeedy Community Development Group is a volunteer-led registered charity that works to improve facilities and amenities in the village. Full Moon Rising is an example of the transformational power of community in the parish of Feenagh Kilmeedy, where volunteers of all ages come together to celebrate for the common good.

The Group operates a number of social enterprises including retail, café, social and recreational activities, Tidy Towns, gardening, meeting and childcare activities. Funds raised from Full Moon Rising will be used to get planning permission to develop the Seven Acre Community Site into a cultural, recreational and enterprise hub benefitting both residents and the wider community.
