Today is the launch day of the 2024 Drogheda UN 16 Day Campaign, which aims to raise awareness of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence. Join us for 16 Days of Activism to end Violence Against Women and Girls! Prevention starts with awareness and ends with action. This year, we're focusing on how prevention can make a difference. Together, we can create a safer, more equitable world for everyone.

We were delighted to attend the official launch by Minister Thomas Byrne TD of "Sportuile - Driving Change Through Sport" at the Lourdes Stadium yesterday. The 5 year project, endorsed and supported by the Drogheda Implementation Board, has initially secured €200,000 a year, for the first three years from Sport Ireland to employ three Sports Development staff to work directly in the communities of Drogheda and East Meath. Meath and Louth County Councils will each provide an additional €60,000 in funding to support the work of SportUile in these communities. These additional resources will provide support to local sporting clubs and organisations in providing more opportunities for sporting and physical activities which will help develop safer and more vibrant communities.

The Drogheda implementation Board welcomes the allocations of over €145,000 from the Community Safety Fund to The Red Door Project and Connect Family Resource Centre announced recently by Minister Helen Mc Entee. The Community Safety Fund invests money seized from criminals back into projects in local communities.

The allocation to The Red Door Project - LCDAT will ensure the continuation of the valuable work carried out by the Prison Links Worker for a further two years while the allocation to Connect Frc will provide supports to parents and families to help build resilience, confidence and feeling of safety in the community, promote positive mental wellbeing and improve societal connections.
