Community action is the key to progress
Throughout the North there has been a significant development of community associations being set up in response to local social and domestic needs identified by the people themselves. For a long time this politicising of local people was the prerogative of nationalist /republican-dominated communities.
Thankfully, we are now witnessing unionist/loyalist-dominated communities - as well as those which have remained ‘mixed’ - catching up fast, to the point where they are beginning to give much needed leadership to their people on the social issues with which they are confronted.
