Northside Partnership and Dublin Northwest Partnership

DCU partners with Northside Partnership and Dublin Northwest Partnership to support inclusive economic development and social progress in North Dublin.

DCU has a long track record of working closely with the two Area Partnerships in North Dublin - Northside Partnership and Dublin Northwest Partnership (DNP). 

These Area Partnerships are companies that work for disadvantaged communities to build skills, create opportunities and support economic development. 

They support a wide cross-section of people and groups including people looking for work, students, people starting their own business, children and families, young people, older people, parents and guardians, and childcare providers.

DCU representatives sit on the boards of both the Northside Partnership and DNP. DCU also assists the Partnerships with expert advice and relevant research when requested.
