Community

We're part of Swords, and north Dublin more broadly. That means looking after the people and organisations that make this part of the world what it is.

Since 2015, Pavilions Swords has partnered with St Francis Hospice in Raheny. In 2025, the centre raised €71,207.64 for the hospice. Together with the previous decade of fundraising, our partnership has now raised over €400,000 in total.

St Francis Hospice provides specialist palliative care to people with life-limiting illnesses and their families across north Dublin. The Raheny branch serves communities throughout Fingal and north county Dublin: the same communities that visit us every week.

If you'd like to donate or get involved, visit the St Francis Hospice website at sfh.ie.

Throughout the year, a range of charities hold collections at Pavilions Swords. In 2025, charities operating in the centre raised a combined €122,558.71.

Every Tuesday morning from 9:30 to 10:30am, Pavilions Swords runs Sensory Hour: reduced noise, dimmed lighting, no in-centre announcements, and extra staff available if needed. It's open to everyone who finds the standard centre environment difficult to navigate.

Throughout the year, Pavilions Swords runs seasonal events and activities for visitors of all ages. Keep an eye on the events page for what's coming up.

Pavilions Swords is part of Positive Places, Hammerson's group-wide sustainability and community platform. Positive Places sets the framework for our charity partnerships, community plans and the wider Net Positive 2030 commitments. See the sustainability page for what that means at Swords.
