Description of Group & Activities:
The Dublin Inner City Community Co-operative Society Limited (‘the Co-op’) was legally established in November 2014. We are an alliance of 13 grassroots, Dublin inner city, community development organisations which have come together to ensure the continued development and delivery of social, economic and cultural services within our communities. All 13 Co-op members are partially funded by the national Social Inclusion Community Activation (SICAP) Programme and operate in the most disadvantaged areas of the inner city. The Co-op’s members are operational in all of or parts of Dublin 1,3,7,8 as well as disadvantaged city areas in Dublin 2 and 4. Our three member organisations in Dublin 8 are SICCDA, Robert Emmet CDP and SWICN.
A critical element of the work of the Co-op is with ‘hard to reach’ target groups. The ‘hard-to-reach’ are those perceived as difficult to engage due to their social circumstances, characteristics and behaviours, and their institutional relationships, such as not using health or other services. Hard to reach communities and individuals are diverse but they include those who face barriers to participation, including economic and social barriers, such as, but not limited to class, income/wealth, geographic location, language, age, gender, ethnicity, education, residential status, health and religion. What is critical to note is that their needs are diverse. Successful interventions respond to the needs, characteristics, and local circumstances of the hard to reach group.
