It’s time for a big thank you.  Our funders play a very important role in our work at North Wall CDP.

We are delighted to confirm that we were one of 65 groups that Dublin Bus chose for a 2020 Community Spirit Award.

‘Go Digital!’, our new outreach project, is up and running.  Thanks to the Community Foundation for Ireland we’ve bought seven Acorn tablets to bring our gardening and knitting club members together online.  This is a trial project.  Our community friends will learn new digital skills as they use the tablets for weekly gardening workshops, yoga and dance classes and a ‘Knit & Sew’ group where they can swap stories as they work. All using Zoom.

Ann Murphy, North Wall CDP’s General Manager, made a presentation during Intreo’s Work & Skills Week on Wednesday, 21^st April. She was a guest speaker on the panel called  ‘Support for Jobseekers – For people looking to find work’. 

In February, when lockdown was getting us down, we did the Jerusalema challenge.  A simple, powerful dance that's great for community spirit. The Jerusalema started in Africa last October. It spread to Europe and around the world - Australia, Asia, the USA. Then to the NEIC this Spring.  Our NWCDP staff learned their steps and did their bit.  

Watch out for the Little Treasures’ staff in purple uniforms, Luke Kelly’s head,  nimble teachers and Josie's Irish dancing steps. Thanks to Sandy Doody for this final edit.

International Women’s Day is a landmark event for North Wall CDP. This year we couldn't invite our community friends to the centre for the usual coffee, cake and chat but we still marked it the day. On 8th March at 11am  staff walked our ECCE pre-schoolers safely down to the River Liffey. There they threw flowers into the water to remember and honour women who suffer abuse.  It was a lovely walk on a Spring day.

Ann Murphy, our new general manager, highlights the great work North Wall CDP has been doing in the past 35 years. 

In this video, she also focusses on Community Employment (CE) and the benefits it offers.

We have childcare positions available in our Little Treasures Community Crèche.

On Wednesday 9^th December we held our Sheriff Street clean up.  Lots of people braved the cold, damp morning including the learners on our Sport & Recreation LTI team.  Thanks lads (including Ger and Amy!).  We also appreciated the help from our staff, community partners, Dublin City Council and Greystar Ireland, who are located nearby.  The Green Ribbon team gave us planting tips and two lovely flower containers. 

It was a great morning. We’ll do it again!

It’s not your average football course. We’re enrolling for a year-long course where you can train in the gym and play football every day. Plus:

You’ll get a training allowance on top of your social welfare payment. 

The course is open to applicants age 18-35 who are already on a SW payment. It’s open to men and women.

Ring Ger (083) 303 2754 or Amy (085) 812 3889 for an informal interview or just more information.
