In November 2022, a fire broke out late at night in the upstairs area of Listowel Community Centre. Thankfully, no one was injured however the blaze caused significant damage to one side of the building and left the entire upstairs area unusable. As a result, the centre was forced to close its doors until March 2023. Amid this challenging time, Trevor Horan stepped into the role of manager – a formidable task given the circumstances. With determination, vision and the unwavering support of the Listowel community, Trevor led the effort to restore and rejuvenate the centre. Thanks to this collective resilience, the centre and BASE Gym have not only recovered but have come back stronger than ever. What stands today is a testament to the spirit of teamwork, community and perseverance.
