These continue to be anxious times for us all, not least some of the younger members of our families.

Choose Galway Social Enterprise

Galway City Partnership has led out on an Awareness Raising Initiative for Social Enterprises (ARISE)

The ‘Choose Galway Social Enterprise’ campaign has been launched by a group of social enterprises in Galway to raise awareness about the importance of discovering and choosing social enterprises. The Galway social enterprises involved in the campaign are: An Mheitheal Rothar; BounceBack Recycling; Galway City Partnership; Galway Community Circus; GOCOM Radio and Westside Resource Centre. You might be familiar with these organisations, but you might not know that they are social enterprises and that you can make a bigger social impact by choosing their products and services.
