Community Action
Programme Ballymun (CAP) has undergone a great deal of change over
the 10 years of it's operation. This change has resulted from our response to, or
anticipation of, rapid changes in our working environment locally
and nationally. Cap's work during this time is detailed in our Annual Reports for each
year. Our 1999 Annual Report is available here for Download
and we
can e-mail you a copy of our reports for any other year if you want to
see them. To contact us Click

Our
Aims and Objectives over the next 3-year period are the result of
ongoing reflection on internal and external changes. Our analysis is based on our consideration of the results of
regular external evaluations of the work of CAP. These were carried out by Liz Hayes in 1992, by Gráinne
Healy in 1994 and by NEXUS Europe Research in 1997.The full Management Committee also undertakes work review and
planning sessions on an annual basis.
Over
the next 3 years, will be prioritising our work around the following
key “Theme Areas”:

| Core
Aims |
We
have divided our Aims along the lines of these five "Theme
Areas" of work. The major concerns for the local community at this time are reflected in
our identification of the Regeneration of Ballymun and Policy Work
as theme areas.
While we are
listing these areas separately, we regard them as elements in a
continuum between internal, local, national and international work
that we plan to be involved in over the next 3 years. Our Aims and Objectives for this work are outlined below. |

| 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.
