About Us
Dublin Northwest Partnership (DNP) is a For-Purpose, Area-Based Partnership Company.
We work together with the Communities of Finglas, Ballymun, Cabra, Whitehall, Glasnevin, Drumcondra and Phibsborough to advance the well-being and economic dignity and security of local people, especially those experiencing disadvantage and inequity.
Our work is diverse, spanning community building, wellness, education and employment programmes. We support people in the catchment area across the life course, from differing backgrounds and experiences, including Travellers and new communities.
At the heart of everything we do is a strongly held belief that positive change can occur for each of us when we are empowered and resourced to shape our lives in ways that we truly value. We are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of governance to serve our community with integrity, transparency and accountability. Good governance ensures that we operate ethically, responsibly and inclusively in all that we do.
Empowering people takes commitment and investment. It also takes kindness and humility. At DNP we know that to empower people we must listen deeply and respond creatively to people’s ambitions and concerns. We must have the courage to share or even surrender power. Critically, to empower people and communities we must enable them to access the essential resources, relationships, networks and opportunities required to shape their lives, including their work. This is our commitment to the people living in these communities.
Our Vision: Thriving people and vibrant communities with opportunities for all
Our Mission: Shaping and investing in policies, programmes and partnerships that build vibrant and resilient communities that empower people, especially those experiencing disadvantage, to thrive
