A public meeting will take place in Athenry this week to discuss challenges and threats facing the community sector.
It's part of a national series of meetings, under the banner "Together, We Are Community"
It'll bring together community workers, local organisations, service providers and service users at the Raheen Woods Hotel on Thursday at 8pm.
Among the items to be discussed are funding uncertainties, erosion of job security, and risks to vital services that support thousands of people.
Coordinator Sean Larkin gives some examples of services that are delivered through community sector.
