‘There’s work being done that can’t be measured on paper’

THE Ballyphehane/Togher Community Development Project in Cork was established in 1991.

Supported by a Southern Health Board Community Worker local residents, representatives and voluntary groups came together to identify community needs and drawing up a funding submission for Government.

The submission was sanctioned in July 1993, and a two-roomed flat was identified as a base. A project coordinator was recruited, with a part-time administrator added to the team by 1995.
