North Wall Community Development Project: LTI Coordinator & Assistant
Brief Overview of NWCDP
The NWCDP, formerly the North Wall Women’s Centre, NWWC, was established in 1985 by a group of local women who recognised the need for a centre that would facilitate and accommodate local women in providing a meeting place. The Centre, based in Lower Sheriff Street, opened unofficial channels of communications, provided insights into problems confronting the community of Sackville Parish, improved co-operation between agencies and communities and increased mutual understanding.
Over the years the Centre recognised that its central message needed to be communicated to the broader community if the Centre is to provide global perspective on women’s issues, child welfare, social exclusion and facilitate interagency solutions rather than focus on single-issue perspectives and single-agency solutions.
The Centre has grown in strength and is now being recognised as a valuable resource within Dublin North, particularly with regard to community development.
In 2007 the Centre was awarded CDP status and funding made available to further develop the centre and community through additional employees and broader remit.
