2017 Annual Planning – Community Group Supports & Services

Social Inclusion & Community Activation Programme (SICAP)

We are currently planning the delivery of our supports and services for 2017 under the Empowering Communities Goal of the Social Inclusion & Community Activation Programme (SICAP). These services will be delivered by Donegal Local Development throughout 2017, working with local community groups through a community development partnership approach.

We remain open to working with new groups and partners on an ongoing basis.

The work which we plan to undertake with partners will fit with the aims, objectives and priorities of the SICAP Programme – to address social inclusion, equality and poverty issues.

Target groups who are at higher risk of social exclusion will be prioritised including:

SICAP - Target Groups
Disadvantaged Children and Families / New Communities - including refugees/asylum seekers / People living in Disadvantaged Communities
Lone Parents / Low Income Workers/Households / People with Disabilities
The Unemployed - including those not on the Live Register / Travellers / Roma / Young unemployed people living in disadvantaged areas
NEETs – Young people aged 15- 24 years who are not in employment, education or training
