and bridge clubs, sporting, environmental, and social inclusion organisations operating in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown county. We provide our member groups with opportunities for networking, learning, communication, and sharing of information which leads to participating in local decision making and collective action. For example, we provide free training, open to all our members, in areas such as digital skills and technology, governance, committee skills, funding and more. We run regular workshops, linkage groups, and public consultation meetings to ensure that our members’ voices are heard. We enable the community to elect representatives to sit on the local government committees which cover these policy areas: Community, Culture and Wellbeing, Economic Development and Enterprise, Environment and Climate Action, Housing, Planning and Transportation, and Marine Strategic Policy Committees and the Local Community Development Committee. Our aims are: • To facilitate communication between community groups and Dún Laoghaire- Rathdown County Council. To give voice to a diverse range of views and interests within the local government system and participate in policy making. • To strengthen the ability of people, groups, and organisations to contribute in a positive way to the community in which they reside or are active within. • To act as an information hub for local community and voluntary, environmental, and social inclusion groups and organisations. Come join us! Membership is free to groups in the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown area who fulfil the membership criteria. All ages and abilities are welcome.
