Cross border project aims to empower people of all ages

-

A new cross border project aims to empower people of all age groups in the Cranmore housing estate and Queenspark Women’s Group in County Antrim, through capacity building and skills developmen­t programmes that will enable their involvemen­t in positive projects that will improve their own quality of life as well as the community at large.

Local community representa­tives came together last week to celebrate the official launch of the project ‘ Inside & Out’, administer­ed by Cranmore Community Co- Operative.

The project is unique in that it will engage directly with other statutory agencies in the area including Cranmore Regenerati­on team, Mayo/ Sligo/ Leitrim Education & Training Board, Home Youth Liasion Services, MABS, Foroige, Dept of Social Protection and local Gardaí.
