Description
Community Development Project Cabra CDP is a locallly managed community project based in Naomh Fionnbarra GAA Club Complex. The aims of the project is to help local people develop sustainable community initiatives and to assist the growth and development of individuals and groups with a focus on social inclusion. The project links with all community groups within the area, sits on management and development committees including Citizens Information, John Paul Park Sports Complex and Cabra for Youth. We also work closely with a range of state and statutory agencies. One of our main projects is working with the local senior network and producing a monthly senior newsletter 'Cabra Senior News'. We also host a community gardening project, a range of social education programmes and a range of community volunteering initiatives. The local historical society which also links into the local schools and cultural groups is an example of our work. If you would like to assist the project with their work or need more information on any aspect of our work dont hestiate to contact the project.
