In community development we continue our supports to Community Councils, who in turn continue to provide stable and dynamic leadership in local Communities throughout the County. We also continue to forge strong links with other groups and agencies as we believe that community work straddles many facets of life, from health to education and the environment.

We organised a successful Health Information Seminar during 2023 in conjunction with HSE Cork North Community Work Department and local community in Ballinascarthy. We also worked closely with the Mitchelstown Mallow and Fermoy Community Health Networks, and we are represented on the Cork County Connecting for Life Suicide Prevention Community Services working group and other groups by our CDO. We also manage the ‘Bags of Hope’ initiative as part of the Connecting for life suicide Prevention working group. 

We organised a remarkably successful ‘Pride in our Community Competition in 2023. The School Garden competition was also run in 2023 Both these competitions were sponsored by Cork County Council, Cork City Council. These Competitions are very inspirational & reflect the huge voluntary commitment around the city and county by volunteers, teachers & children. I would like to thank my fellow directors, our staff, and especially the dedicated members of Community Councils and community groups all over County Cork for the huge contribution they make to their local areas every year. I want to pay tribute to them for their dedication and commitment to maintaining and developing services and facilities in their local areas. Local Cultural Companions Networks

In 2022 Cultural Companions launched two new hubs or local networks; Mallow and Bantry. Mallow launched in early October with more than 50 members joining Cultural Companions. 26 members attended a cinema event in November and 16 members came to a Christmas Carol concert in December.

Bantry Cultural Companions was launched by the County Mayor in November at a well attended event in Bantry library. First event for Bantry Cultural Companions will be in January 2023 Cork City Cultural Companions attended a number of events in 2022: Rachel Croash in The Opera House in September, Muintir Cork’s ‘Making Friends and Enjoying Our Culture’ wellness afternoon in Ballyphehane Community Centre in November and a film screening in the Triskel Arts Centre is the final event of 2022 for Cultural Companions.
