Mayo Social Inclusion Awareness Month

Mayo PPN
Upcoming Events
Mayo Social Inclusion Awareness Month is an initiative of Mayo Local Community Development Committee’s (LCDC) Social Inclusion and Community Development Working Group. Chaired by Cllr Neil Cruise the Working Group comprises representatives from many community groups and organisations throughout County Mayo.
 
Mayo Social Inclusion Awareness Month gives us the chance to promote and highlight the very positive work that the voluntary and community sectors do on a day to day basis to reduce discrimination, racism, poverty and social exclusion.
The aim of the month is to support initiatives throughout the county that foster inclusion and equality and it is also an opportunity to celebrate the diversity of people in County Mayo.

Sanctuary Runners Castlebar

Sanctuary Runners is a solidarity-through-sport initiative which uses running, jogging and walking to bring together asylum seekers, refugees, migrants and all Irish residents. 

With groups across Ireland they are currently expanding internationally. Their model allows communities to get to know each other, fosters community integration and improves physical and mental health.

As a non-political group that focuses on positive action, they operate under the principles of solidarity, friendship and respect. They do not aim to be the fastest running team in the world……but definitely the friendliest!
