Traveller Project highlights value of community involvement

Some of the most important work taking place in our communities happens without much public recognition.

In his video for Clare’s European Volunteering Capital 2027 campaign, Martin McDonagh of Clare Traveller Community Development Project speaks about the importance of supporting local causes, raising awareness of community issues and ensuring the contribution of the Traveller community is recognised and valued.

The project works to strengthen the voice and participation of the Traveller community across County Clare, including supporting smaller charities and highlighting issues that matter to its members.

Martin also discusses the importance of raising awareness of men’s mental health and supporting initiatives that make a positive difference in people’s lives.

As Clare prepares to take on the title of European Volunteering Capital 2027, his message highlights the many different ways people contribute to their communities and the importance of ensuring that every community has a voice.
