Thank you to The Wheel for inviting us to their two-day social inclusion dialogue.

It was great to network with the Galway community and volunteer sector to share knowledge and strive towards better support for the people we serve.

We want to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

This week, The Wheel organised a two-day dialogue on social cohesion brilliantly facilitated by Monica Manning and Pat Tobin from CAN Action, and gathering many leaders from the community and voluntary sector in Galway

Together, they shared their knowledge and experience to address the struggles of our sector to find practical solutions on how we can create inclusive communities in a context of growing social polarisation.
