CLDC is selected to deliver SICAP programme for next 5 years!

CLDC is selected to deliver SICAP programme for next 5 years!

CLDC is thrilled to have been awarded the SICAP programme in county Clare!

SICAP stands for Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme, and CLDC has been selected as the organisation to design, implement and deliver the programme at a local level. 

So, for the next 5 years, we will continue to be on the ground with our communities, asking what is needed and finding ways to deliver it

It’s a huge credit to the SICAP team for all of their hard work in the past 5 years, staying innovative and responsive to meet the emergent needs of our communities in a rapidly changing climate.

SICAP puts a strong emphasis on meeting the needs of people who are farthest removed from resources and services, and on bringing more equity to our communities. At CLDC, this of course is aligned with our values, and we work hard to activate and empower our communities.  

We’re so proud and excited to continue advocating for and supporting the people of Clare, and we look forward to bringing more equity and inclusion to our communities!

Over the remaining five weeks we will be looking at how we can use simple devices to monitor and manage our energy use. We will also be discussing our choices and behaviours around our transport energy and how working together as communities can lead to innovative renewable energy projects. It is a great chance to network with others and learn from each other.
