What is Clare PPN?
Clare Public Participation Network is the voice of community groups in Clare. We are a publicly-funded, independent network of more than 400 not-for-profit organisations throughout the county. Our mission is to ensure community groups have the opportunity to bring their expertise and opinions to bear on the County Council’s policies, plans and activities. We also offer training, and opportunities for our groups to collaborate and network with each other. We act as an information hub, with regular newsletters and active social media and we organise the election of community representatives to committees of Clare County Council and other policy-making bodies.
