Mayo Social Inclusion Awareness Week 2023 runs from October 9^th to October 15^th inclusive and this year’s theme is “cairdeas” (i.e. befriending).

Mayo Social Inclusion Awareness Week 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 Co. Mayo.

Mayo Social Inclusion Awareness Week aims 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.

It also affords an opportunity to formally support initiatives throughout the county that foster inclusion and equality as well as celebrating the diversity of people in County Mayo.

Find out more about the various events and activities planned for the week throughout Co Mayo in the official Mayo Social Inclusion Awareness Week programme which you can access HERE.
