CNP Celebrates 20 Years of Community Impact!

Colin Neighbourhood Partnership hosted a celebration for our 20th anniversary of dedicated work supporting and strengthening the Colin community.

To honour our organisation's milestone, we invited longstanding supporters, local leaders, and friends of the organisation together to celebrate the transformation the Colin community has seen and the hard work that was done by both CNP and the community to make Colin greater every day.

As part of our efforts to reflect on the hard work committed within the organisation, we managed to bring three of our former Chairpersons on stage. They all took time to share their powerful stories, detailing the challenges and triumphs that they have overcame, reminding us of the vision, perseverance, and commitment that have defined CNP’s journey.

We were also honoured by the presence of Junior Minister Aisling Reilly and Junior Minister Pam Cameron, both of whom delivered thoughtful and encouraging speeches. Their recognition of CNP's work and emphasis on the power of community-driven change deeply resonated with all in attendance. We are sincerely grateful for their time and support.

A major highlight of the evening was the official launch of our new Strategic Plan — a forward-looking blueprint designed to strengthen and deepen our impact in the years ahead. The Strategic Plan has been a recent project designed to outline the optimal strategy to help Colin Neighbourhood Partnership effectively and efficiently work towards improving the area and its community through empowering individuals, creating awareness and developing structures of participatory government.

Over CNP's 20 years of work, we have worked with thousands of people, building relationships with community leaders, local groups, fellow community organisations and volunteers. The meaningful bonds and relationships that have developed in the past two decades help to influence and inspire others beyond the organisation to help in the Colin community as well as other communities that face similar issues as our own.

Colin Neighbourhood Partnership would like to say thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating this important chapter and to anyone who has stood with us over the many years of our work.

Here’s to the next chapter—building on 20 years of impact, and working together for an even brighter future for Colin.
