Mission Statement: To empower amputees to achieve independence, participation, social and occupational integration in the life of the community.

Our Aim is to provide a holistic, best practice support system for all amputees in Ireland.

Our mission (since being founded in 1986) is to empower through education, and to tackle disadvantage in education. We provide people of all ages with pathways to learning, leadership and enterprise.

Overview:  We offer a variety of programmes in early years education and care, parenting, community, further and higher education, family supports and a counselling service. Community Education programmes now bring our services beyond our base in Jobstown, Tallaght (Dublin) to locations across the country.

Through an inclusive community development process An Siol aims to address the causes and consequences of social and economic exclusion.

Aims of An Siol:

An Taisce - 'The Store House, or Treasury' is The National Trust For Ireland. Established in 1948, it is the most influential environmental body in Ireland.

All our policies reflect our core belief that a high quality environment is central to Ireland achieving a successful and sustainable economy, as well as a high quality of life. This is based on the view that prevention is better than cure, partnership and dialogue are better than conflict and monologue, and strategic planning surpasses reactive expediency.

AN TALAMH GLAS is an empowering eco-social collective working with other like-minded individuals and groups to create non-hierarchical workspaces free of authority and domination of any kind, and to provide education and information.

ATG came together in Ireland in 1984 and evolved to include a network in Europe and north America.

The Ana Liffey Drug Project aims to respond to the needs of drug users, their families, their children and their communities in a flexible, person-centred way. The project endeavours to create a welcoming and open environment where service users are respected, accepted and encouraged to manage the issues impacting on their lives.

The project works with service users to reduce the risks associated with drug use, advocate for the rights and needs of drug users, and improve overall quality of life.

Our Objectives

This initiative is designed to achieve 3 things

1. Change the national conversation

2. Generate funding for vital charities

3. Raise the profile of the charities

The Animal Care Society (Cork), a registered charity, was formed in October 2000. The aim of the Animal Care Society is stated in its name, to try and provide care to all animals in Cork City and County that require it. We are almost entirely made up of volunteers who give their time and effort to help animals.

Through our network of dedicated dog, cat and wildlife fosterers we have rehomed over 6000 animals since our foundation. We also operate a help line service dealing with animal welfare matters.

Animal Rights Action Network (ARAN) Ireland's national animal rights group was formed in 2000.

ARAN is a vegan based group working to end all forms of animal cruelty and to speak out for their rights.

We operate to highlight animal abuse, educate and to campaign on animal abuse nationwide.

Aonad Resource Centre opened its doors in February 2003. It has since become progressively busier as the rural community of North East Galway explore the supports and services that we can provide.
