The Clare Leader Forum is a Disabled People’s organisation working to achieve human rights for people living with disabilities in Clare. They have devised two surveys with Clare Public Participation Network and are inviting the 15,000 people living with a disability in the County to take part in this important research.

The first survey is on sports, leisure, tourism and amenity access and will be used to inform policy, submissions and advocacy. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/8DPGL62
The second survey examines what life is like in Clare for people with disabilities and how they engage in advocacy and activism. It will form part of an important and exciting Book: ‘Nothing About Us Without Us’ which is due for release in December 2021 https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JYYFY2R

Funding announced to improve community facilities
County Clare has been allocated funding of €139,257 through the Community Enhancement Programme (CEP) 2021 to support groups as they reopen facilities that have been closed due to Covid-19. The grants are relatively small but may appeal to those groups ineligible for the Stability Fund. Closing date is at the discretion of the Local Community Development Committee (LCDC) but will be sometime in July 2021. For more information:
