Neighbourhood Network is a registered Irish charity dedicated to fostering social inclusion, combating loneliness, and building supportive and resilient communities across Ireland. Through initiatives like Street Feast and Home Together, they create opportunities for neighbours to connect and collaborate, enhancing the social fabric of local areas.
One of their flagship projects, Our Shared Plate, is a community-led climate action initiative aimed at promoting food security and environmental sustainability. Launched in October 2023, the project engages residents in counties Laois, Kildare, and Longford to establish community gardens, conduct skill-sharing workshops, and host social gatherings centered around climate action. The project is funded by the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications and facilitated by Pobal.
Neighbourhood Network's approach emphasizes the importance of community engagement and collaboration in addressing both social and environmental challenges, aiming to create happier, healthier, and more connected neighbourhoods.
