The Ballyhoura Community Inclusion Toolkit launched in December 2018. A practical aid for community and voluntary organisations across the region to aid in challenges faced in attracting volunteers, engaging people in community activities and fostering legacy and succession.

Over a 12-month period, 3 community groups (ACM Castleconnell, Mitchelstown Community Council & Kilmallock District and Community Council) supported the development of the toolkit for use by all.

The nomination of the Ballyhoura Development initiative is based on its relevance for groups not just in the region, but at a National and European level.

The nomination relies on the public vote as well as an independent, high-level jury, composed of some of Europe’s top researchers.

Pictured are the Community Representatives from Ballyhoura, discussing the Community Inclusion Toolkit.

The Board, staff and teams at Ballyhoura Development CLG would appreciate all public support in the region. To nominate click here and click on the “thumbs up” symbol for the Ballyhoura Community Inclusion Toolkit!
