The Moyle Children and Young People’s Locality Partnership was set up and launched by Moyle Council in November 2009. Councillor Cara McShane the then Chair of the Council, chaired the partnership during its developmental stages . The role of Chair was then taken on by Brenda McAteer, NHSCT in December 2010. The partnership is multi-agency and has membership from Statutory, voluntary and community sector organisations in the area. We meet monthly and I think the group have accomplished a great deal of success during its first year, including a Volunteer Drive and Family Support Fair.
