Foreword
The Voluntary and Community sector play an essential role in community development. The Government’s
White Paper on the Voluntary and Community Sector reiterated the importance of a vibrant and involved
voluntary and community sector to ensure the experiences and interests of marginalised communities and
groups are included when decisions that effect them are being made.
There is a long tradition of volunteerism in County Clare. One of the objectives (3.13) of the 10-year
Integrated Strategy for County Clare is to ‘ensure the co-ordinated development of quality services via the
integrated effort of a well-financed and support community and voluntary sector’. This Directory of
Community and Voluntary Groups is one of the actions (3.13.5) to achieve the above objective and is a
valuable tool to be accessed by the people of the county and other interested persons. It provides
information on the wide—range of Community and Voluntary groups in County Clare. It is intended that
the directory will be updated regularly on the CDB (www.clarecdb.ie) and Clare Library
(www.clarelibrary.ie) websites in order for people to have access to accurate information on the services
provided by these groups.
This Directory follows on from a number of reports already prepared by the County Development Board
• Integrated Strategy for the Social, Economic and Cultural Development of County Clare
• Social, Economic and Cultural Profile of County Clare and
• Directory of Service Providers in County Clare.
We would like to thank all the organisations and groups that contributed to this directory and we would encourage the people of
Clare to support the tremendous work being done by these groups on a daily basis.

iiClare Community Forum
The Clare Community Forum (CCF) was established in February 2000 to ensure that the needs ofcommunity and voluntary groups throughout County Clare are represented in an effective manner. TheCCF is a county- wide group consisting of representatives from all interested sectors in the county. Fivelocal Area Networks have been established in North Clare, East Clare, West Clare, Shannon and the Ennisarea. These Networks ensure that the voice of all the representative voluntary and community groups in
the local areas are adequately and effectively represented on the key decision making bodies in the county. Each Area Networknominates five of their members to sit on the Clare Community Forum.
The CCF in addition to now having representation on the County Development Board also has representatives on the StrategicPolicy Committees of Clare County Council, Clare County Childcare Committee, Clare Sports Partnership and the ImplementationGroups under the County Development Board.
We would like to take the opportunity to thank the County Development Board in assisting the development of these networksand look forward to continuing this partnership in the future.

The Clare County Development Board
The establishment of City/County Development Boards (CDBs) was one of the central recommendations of the Task Force on theIntegration of Local Government and Local Development Systems that reported in August 1998. CDBs comprises of a partnershipof local government, social partners, including the community and voluntary sector as well as representatives of relevant StateAgencies at local level. Clare County Development Board represents a new approach to local development and the process ofdecision making within County Clare. The CDB has the responsibility to address the need for local integration at County level.
The Clare County Development Board launched its Integrated Strategy for the Social, Economic and Cultural Development ofCounty Clare in February 2002.
Background and MethodologyThe Clare County Development Board (CDB) has a database of nearly 400 Community and Voluntary groups in County Clare. Thisdatabase has been developed over a number of years and is constantly being updated.
The process to develop this Directory began in the Summer of 2002. An advert was placed in the Clare Champion advisingCommunity & Voluntary groups of this event. A questionnaire was sent to the contact people of all the groups that the Directorateof Community & Enterprise had on their database and two reminder letters were sent subsequently. A copy of the questionnaireis attached in the Appendix at the back of this Directory.
This Directory contains the information that was submitted by the various groups operating in County Clare.
The CDB plan on placing this Directory on the www.clarecdb.ie website. This way the Directory can be updated electronicallyas new or revised information on the Community and Voluntary groups comes to their attention. Details on groups can besubmitted at any stage, to the CDB, and it will be included on the website and in subsequent publications.
