Clondalkin Drug and Alcohol Task Force Recovery Choir
Clondalkin Drug and Alcohol Task Force Recovery Choir are seeking support towards uniforms for the choir.
The Choir is made up of people in recovery, the choir’s mission is to create a supportive healing environment through the power of music. They believe that singing plays a therapeutic role, which can inspire and uplift people who are in recovery. They feel that uniforms would create a sense of unity amongst choir members fostering a feeling of belonging and identity within the group, and a well-designed uniform can contribute to a positive self-image. A professional appearance can enhance the choir’s credibility, potentially leading to more opportunities for performances and collaborations. Which may lead to increased support.
The Arts Office recommends that a contribution of €650 be allocated to Clondalkin Drug and Alcohol Task Force Recovery Choir towards the purchase of uniforms for the choir.
Bawnogue Youth and Community Centre
Bawnogue Youth and Community Centre are seeking support for a facilitator, materials and musicians to host a community event on International Womens Day.
The Centre is proposing to host a flower crown making workshop, the idea is so that families of all types come together to work together and communicate to complete their crowns. It would be open to all but especially aimed at hard to reach families, to encourage women who might have difficult relations families or children so they can sit, side by side in a relaxed atmosphere, all while encouraging creativity and teamwork in a neutral environment.
