Southside Community Training Network (SCTN)

This strategy provides support and training to community groups at different stages of development. It includes pre-development support to new groups, ongoing support to established groups (including neighbourhood task groups, family resource centres and community development projects), and integrated training opportunities for communities and agencies.
A significant resource in implementing this strategy is the Southside Community Training Network (SCTN), which is hosted and supported by Southside Partnership DLR and now has over 30 members. The role of the network is to build the capacity of groups through the coordination and delivery of training programmes. For more information please see the SCTN website: www.trainingnetwork.ie

Additional actions include:

• Technical assistance on the management committees of Mountwood Fitzgerald CDP, Ballyogan Family Resource Centre and Ballybrack CDP
• Access to a “Pool of Expertise” to provide professional advice to community groups on issues such as HR Policies, Financial Procedure. Information technology and Corporate Governance.
