Steal Away National Ukrainian Choir

We were delighted to launch the Steal Away National Ukrainian Choir documentary yesterday with our friends and supporters. 

This project was 18 months in the making and shows Ireland’s love and support for our Ukrainian friends living in our communities.  We hope this film will provide comfort and inspiration to Ukrainians at home and abroad during this most difficult time. 

Below are  the links to this wonderful documentary that tells the story of integration, community and hope and shows that working and being together is the way forward.

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.
