Foster intercultural dialogue

About the organisation:
To promote voluntary community spirit by facilitating opportunities to work together on projects which improve Glounthaune and its environs. To enhance and maintain the physical environment of Glounthaune for residents young and old, and visitors.
To promote the unique Cork Harbour estuarine habitat for the Icelandic bred Blacktailed Godwits (migratory birds) who stop off on their over-­winter journey to estuaries along the west coast of France and Portugal.
We have experience of working with migrants/asylum seekers as up to one hundred reside in a centre based in Glounthaune (under a government “Direct Provision” scheme).
