As a charitable not-for-profit organisation, we implement various programmes to address social exclusion and disadvantage while contributing to the county’s economic development through innovative and sustainable initiatives.
The organisation is guided by a Board of Directors that includes representatives from statutory service providers, community groups, local businesses, farming, and trade unions. Our team of experienced staff delivers a variety of programmes and services aimed at supporting local communities. These include initiatives at both local and European levels, often incorporating non-formal education through skills development, training, volunteering, and community engagement.
Key programmes include the LEADER Rural Development Programme, the Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme (SICAP), and the Meath Volunteer Centre. We also manage the TÚS Work Placement Scheme, the Rural Social Scheme, and projects supported by the EEA Norway Grants and Erasmus+ education programmes.
With significant experience in managing European projects, particularly through Erasmus+ and EEA funding streams, we have successfully coordinated and participated in numerous transnational initiatives focused on adult education, vocational training, and youth development.
Our education centre provides a modern and flexible learning environment, accommodating adult learners with various vocational training and up-skilling courses aimed at improving employability, promoting lifelong learning, and supporting community engagement.
We maintain active involvement in regional, national, and European networks to influence policy and share learning outcomes, while continuously working to enhance civic participation and cultural appreciation within County Meath.
