Ballymun Community Action Programme 

Local Development Work

CAP aims to respond to the needs of local groups in order to strengthen them in their work. We aim to develop new groups or activities as required to strengthen the voice of the community.  We aim to support new people to get involved in their community.  A key aim locally is to promote social analysis/political analysis in the area. We also aim to support groups to develop a policy dimension, based on their experience and practice, to their work.

Objectives 

CAP will continue to respond to requests from local groups for developmental support. 

CAP will continue to initiate development activities locally as new needs arise in the community. 

CAP will continue to provide drop-in administrative services and facilities to local groups.

CAP will support new groups becoming established in the area, particularly those involving the most disadvantaged of the area.  In particular, CAP will build the capacity of local groups to support: 

Isolated People

Elderly

Volunteerism

CAP will work to support the provision of Community Leadership training programmes in the area.

CAP will ensure that we include a social/political analysis element in all of our facilitation or training work with local groups. 

CAP will network with the 3 other projects in Ballymun that are funded under the Department of Social, Community and Family Affairs Community Development Support Programme in order to build the profile of community development in the area, i.e.: 

The Community and Family Training Agency (CAFTA)

Ballymun Men’s Centre

The Drop in Well Centre

CAP will work to support and inform the Integrated Services Process (ISP) and to ensure the development of an ISP for Ballymun.
