TravAct

The Northside Traveller Support Company (CLG) trading as TravAct ; started as a small group of community minded individuals, from both the Traveller and the Settled Communities, has grown over the years to encompass six different projects funded by the HSE, CDYSB, The Justice Department, the DSP and the Darndale-Belcamp Initiative through the JI Scheme. Considering the very high quality of services being delivered by TravAct over the years, the CDYSB in conjunction with the Pavee Point decided to transition their Youth Project to TravAct in end 2015 for carrying out more focused Youth Work amongst the critical North Dublin Community of young Travellers.

It is a tribute to the commitment of the Voluntary Board of Management that it has kept the Organisation functioning smoothly even in the absence of any core-funding. TravAct, an honoured member of the Irish Traveller Movement and the Irish National Traveller partnership, has been assured of adequate core funding to carry on its pioneering work in North Dublin
