Galway City Council has launched a new handbook for resident associations across the city.
It's been designed to provide clear, accessible information for existing and emerging groups.
This new handbook will cover topics like establishment, good governance, effective communication, funding opportunities and collaboration action with the local authority.
It's available online at GalwayCity.ie, and printed copies will be available at a series of public information sessions in the coming weeks.
The first, for the East Ward, will take place at Ballybane Community Hub on Tuesday, May 26th at 6pm.
It's followed by an event for the West Ward at Cappagh Park Community Centre on Wednesday, May 27th at 6pm.
And a further event for the Central Ward will be held at the Harbour Hotel on Thursday, May 28th, at 6.30pm.
