About Us
Who We Are
Southside Partnership DLR is a local development company established in 1996 working across the county of Dun Laoghaire Rathdown.
We support all people and groups in our community including people looking for work, students, people starting their own business, children and families, young people, older people, and parents and guardians.
Our work spans across three core pillars
Individuals: We provide employment, enterprise and social enterprise supports, personal development and health and wellbeing initiatives to individuals within our community. Our programmes support children, young people and families and we provide integration supports for International Protection applicants and Migrants.
Communities: We strengthen community infrastructure by supporting Local Community Groups, Networks and Community Centres. Together we invest in innovative and creative initiatives that empower communities to actively address socio-economic issues and build resilient, inclusive, sustainable and thriving communities. We strengthen community infrastructure by supporting local centres and projects in areas such as children, older people, people with disabilities, migrant support, women’s empowerment, and community group capacity-building.
Collaborations and Partners: We collaborate with a range of key stakeholders to achieve our common goals and create sustainable solutions. We are committed to working in partnership with local and national organisations and groups. We continuously strive to find innovative opportunities such as philanthropy to leverage funding and resources aimed at strengthening our reach and impact to those experiencing marginalisation and social exclusion.
