August 2001: We Have Moved!
After spending our first 12 years in the
flat on Sillogue Road, we moved to a brand new, purpose built,
state-of-the-art premises in axis, Ballymuns new Arts and Community
Resource Centre that is designed to cater for a whole range of community
based activities. Axis houses a theatre, café and bar, dance
studio, conference centre, exhibition space, training rooms, crèche, and
offices for 14 community organisations. The move, which we had spent
months preparing for, went relatively smoothly and by the end of August we
had begun to settle into our fantastic new offices.

2000: Major Research Report |
In 1998, Ballymun
Community Action Programme (CAP) started work on a project aimed at assisting local community
groups to participate in the regeneration of Ballymun. A first step was to undertake research into community groups
experiences of the regeneration process.
This
research took place during 1999 and a summary report was published
and circulated in early 2000.The
full report was launched at a seminar held on the 9th
of December 2000.The Objectives of this Seminar were:
To
bring the major "players" in Ballymun together (i.e. community groups, statutory agencies, and
Ballymun Regeneration Limited)
To
inform participants of the findings of CAPs research into community
groups experiences to date of the regeneration programme.
To
agree a process for moving forward on building consensus among all
parties about the future.
