Defending Irelands Communities

The Community &Voluntary sector has become a critical pillar in the provision of a range of vital services and programmes such as childcare, youth projects, community development, eldercare and training.

SIPTU members and activists have been leading the fight to protect jobs and services. If we are to defend our jobs, projects and communities we need to challenge the cut backs. Politicians and decision makers need to know the value of community projects and programmes and understand that they make a real difference in the lives of people.
