New redesigned local directory

The newly re-designed online Wicklow Community Directory has been launched, with information on a wide range of clubs, groups and services across the whole of the county.

Wicklowcommunitydirectory.ie is a community-led website which includes around 900 listings under 65 categories, such as arts, sports, leisure, community groups, childcare, public services and more.

There’s also a What’s On section listing upcoming events in your local community.

Any not-for-profit community group or service, arts or sports club, college or public service, can be listed on the website free of charge.

Wicklow Community Directory is managed by a committee from the local community with members such as County Wicklow Children & Young People’s Services Committee, County Wicklow Volunteer Centre, County Wicklow Citizens Information Service, County Wicklow Partnership, Wicklow County Council, and Wicklow County Council Library Service.

Administration on the directory is carried out by Bray Area Partnership.

The recent update to make the site more vibrant, attractive and user-friendly was carried out with funding and resources from County Wicklow Children & Young People’s Services Committee, Wicklow County Council and Bray Area Partnership through the Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme. ‘We’re thrilled with the new site,’ said chairperson Yvonne Ryan. ‘With new features like location maps, a wider range of categories, and community events listings for the county, the site is now the go-to place for anybody who wants to know what’s going on in their local community.’
