West Armagh Consortium

As a non-sectarian and politically unaffiliated umbrella organisation, the Consortium welcomes affiliations from all new and existing community and voluntary groups in our catchment area. The groups currently affiliated represent districts within the three electoral wards of Abbey Park, Callanbridge and Downs.

The stated objectives of the West Armagh Consortium are as follows:

• To address anti-social and crime related issues through volunteering and local community-led initiatives;

• To foster a sense of social inclusion among residents in areas of socioeconomic deprivation; to stimulate and support community training and development;

• To provide mediation and local advice services;

• To instil community pride through the promotion of cultural and community arts initiatives.
