Community Outreach

We want local residents to be active, informed citizens, to help you to protect and promote your interests and to understand your legal rights. The Centre runs an extensive programme of community based activities. This includes peer mediation programmes in local schools; hosting educational talks and seminars on topical legal issues; and, a weekly drop in advice clinics, where we meet individuals and provide advice and guidance on any legal problems you may be facing.

Community Mediation

The community mediation service in Ballymun enables people dealing with disputes to engage in working out their difficulties through face to face meetings, at a local level. Mediators facilitate families who have fallen out, and help them to manage difficult conversations and to assist them to overcome difficulties and challenges. This approach equips individuals with the skills they need to move forward and to help resolve future conflicts that may arise in the future.
