What your organisation does

Roe Valley Residents Association offer a range of community led initiatives to directly tackle the needs of the local residents. Educational programme such as Essential Skills - Literacy, Numeracy and ICT are offered. Alongside these, other accredited and non accredited courses are provided. Social needs are also addressed through confidence

based workshops, self esteem courses, mental health programmes, craft based programmes are all provided alongside social outings. These directly tackle the issue of social isolation faced by many residents living within the local area. These such activities are provided either Free of Charge or at a concessionary rate as Roe Valley Residents Association's beneficiaries suffer from significant levels of poverty. Projects specific to the needs and issues faced by young people and children are also delivered. These aim to build confidence, educational achievement, and reduce crime and anti social behaviour through structured projects and weekly youth clubs. In addition to its daily activities and service provision, Roe Valley Residents Association works in partnership with a variety of statutory and non statutory organisations providing easy access to services that some residents would not normally avail of because of some barriers they face.
