The Base Enterprise Centre – Page Array

About us

The BASE is a community of individuals working
to support each other and grow their businesses.

Located in Stranorlar in the heart of Co Donegal, The BASE provides a supportive, friendly and encouraging environment that is for everyone, regardless of industry or ambition. Our vibrant entrepreneurial community extends beyond the walls of the Centre. We partner with business organisations across the North West, fostering a network of business people focussed on success.

Members of our community might be based within our walls, renting office spaces or CoWorking desks. Or they might be working in their own premises and connecting with us for training, networking and advice. Some work for themselves, others are part of the growing Remote Work community.

Everyone is welcome. Everyone is valued.

Our Atrium Space at The BASE is where many members

Our Atrium Space at The BASE is where many members of our CoWorking Community usually sit for a quick coffee catch up and eat lunch together. It's a great chance to hear what the other person is up to in their business, swap ideas...the list goes on!

We might not be able to do this in the current climate with Level 5 restrictions in place, but it's still so important to make sure you get that same interpersonal connection with others while working from home. Schedule some time each week to attend a virtual networking event, where you can meet like minded people (keep an eye on networks like the @donegalwomeninbizz for upcoming events). In the meantime, think about connecting with a friend or mentor to run through some of your ideas!

We're here for you as well if you'd like to give us a ring. We'd love to know what you're up as you work through your business goals this January!

Its #snow o'clock in Stranorlar as we welcome in 2021. After such an astounding year of change for everyone in 2020, its worth reflecting that a lot can happen in 12 short months. Some of it we can control. Some of it we can't. But if ever there was a time to follow your dreams, surely its at a time when we've learned that life is precious and every moment of choice and freedom should be savoured. #followyourdreams 2021

What are you most looking forward to about coming home to Donegal for Christmas? 🎄 Hikes in the hills with family? Beach walks just before dusk?

We realise you may have some work you’ll need to get done before you can unwind on Christmas Eve, so here at The BASE, we've decided to open up our doors for FREE from Monday the 21st to Thursday the 24th December to allow everyone to travel home to Donegal sooner, and still have a professional space to work from. 💻

Send us a message, email leah@thebaseenterprise.ie or call 087 607 5555 to book!

The @donegalwomeninbizz is launching a new Perspectives Series, beginning with a FREE event on Wednesday, 9th December 2020.

Four members of the network have come together to deliver this timely, online event on all matters of the Mind, Body & Soul.

It’s hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle when we are in the middle of a pandemic. Uncertainty about finances; caring responsibilities, and job insecurity unsettle our day-to-day life, and of course our mental health.

The speakers will leave you with tips to address these issues, and more, to help you manage stress to promote your personal wellbeing and mental health.

So, why not join for an evening of mindfulness, reflection, self-kindness and communication.

SPEAKERS
– Mary Kara – @donegalmindfulness

– Christina Murray-McEleney – Live Well : Be Well

– Julie Szabo – @northwestchiropractic

– Christine McGonagle-McEleney – Executive Menopause Coach

Hosted by Leah Fairman

Here at The BASE, construction for our new Digital Hub is in full swing!

The Digital Hub will offer a mix of workspace options: remote working desk spaces, separate small office spaces, collaboration and networking areas, meeting rooms and phone booths – not to mention high speed broadband capacity! The BASE intends to transform the Digital Hub into an outlet in Donegal where Digital/ICT businesses can grow and thrive.

The Western Development Commission (WDC), in partnership with Donegal County Council, was awarded funding under the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund (RRDF) to establish our hub. We are so excited to see the building phase unfold and look forward to welcoming businesses here soon.

If you or someone you know is interested in running a start-up from this space or joining our coworking area, please contact leah@thebaseenterprise.ie.
