Mayo Public Participation Network

The Mayo Public Participation Network is the main link through which the local authority connects with the community, voluntary and environmental sectors.

Mayo PPN aims to enable community organisations to articulate a diverse range of views and interests within the local government system, and to allow a diversity of voices and interests to be facilitated and involved in the decision-making process of Mayo County Council and other relevant bodies.

Mayo PPN Community Spotlight!

Ballycroy Community Council & Centre

The Ballycroy Community Council/ Centre is at the heart of the Ballycroy community, offering a space where people come together, create memories, and foster a true sense of belonging. In 2023, the centre celebrated its 40th anniversary, marking four decades of serving the Ballycroy area. Since then, it has been completely refurbished, thanks to the generosity of grants, fundraising efforts, and donations from both local and international supporters. The ongoing work of the Ballycroy Community Council, a voluntary committee made up of 4 directors and dedicated members, ensures that the centre continues to thrive.

The community centre is so much more than just a building – it’s a place where voluntary groups and local initiatives come to life. It hosts a wide range of activities and events, offering something for everyone.
