West Limerick Resources - "Committed to the Community"

Community & Voluntary Groups

It is our role as a local development organisation to support, empower and work with Community Groups to develop their ideas so that together we can exploit the potential of our vibrant and growing community. We believe that everyone in the community should have a voice irrespective of cultural, economic or social difference and so we support the development of both physical and social facilities and structures that facilitate our community's growth.

L&CDP - Under the Local and Community Development Programme our community development officers work on the ground with local community and voluntary groups to investigate their needs and address disadvantage and social exclusion in their community.  We support the development of inclusive local representative structures and establish new community based projects and initiatives.  For more information Click here
