We are funded by a number of Government Departments and Statutory Bodies, including Department of Social Protection, Department of Rural and Community Development, Department of Education, Department of Health, Health Service Executive and South Dublin County Council. We operate and provide services from 17 key locations across the County, covering some of the most disadvantaged areas in the State. The work is organised into thematic areas: Enterprise and Employment; Integration and Placement; Community Development; Children and Families; Health and Wellbeing and Lifelong Learning. We are a recognised source of innovation, piloting many very successful initiatives over the past few years in the areas of mental health, children and families, lifelong learning, and enterprise and employment. Connections are what drives the work of the Partnership. Every connection matters – whether that is the first or the hundredth contact with us by a service user, the connections within our community, or the links with those in our funding bodies, corporate supporters and local people who support our work through volunteering their time – and we will make each connection meaningful and constructive. We will seek to connect service users and the community, in an integrated way, with the services and supports they need.
