Outreach and IPC

In recent weeks as part of ongoing outreach work I have been engaging with a number of community groups particularly from protestant and loyalist areas. My understanding of many of these groups has been helped and informed through arranged face to face meetings and honest conversations with those involved at a local level. The provision of information or services to groups in different areas who might otherwise be neglected is the key to this activity and something that IPC can offer by developing tailored programmes of activity. The extension of assistance or services to persons, groups and communities not previously served by other peace initiatives is also an area that IPC can assist with. I am hopeful of building new connections and engaging openly and honestly with individuals and areas that are working towards change.
