Advisory Groups and Steering Committees

We have a number of advisory groups for our main programme areas. These groups are made up of stakeholders with specialist knowledge and expertise in the programme area. Through employing this model we are able to optimise the impact of our work through having a widened sphere of influence. At the moment, we have advisory groups for Social Inclusion, the Ireland Involved Awards, Safeguard and the Professional Association of Volunteer Managers Ireland.
