Who We Are

Kildare town, which grew out of St. Brigid's Church of the oak ( Cill Dara), has had for several years serious levels of social neglect. In 2003 the residents and community worker of a local housing estate, Bishopsland, began to tackle the problem. With the support of the local schools they began an after school club. This was the acorn out of which KCEP has grown.

KCEP is a local voluntary organisation. It is funded by local voluntary contributions. Its membership consists of representatives of local organisations and service provider agencies (Kildare Schools, Kildare Education Centre, Kildare County Council, Kildare Community Partnership, Kildare Parish, KARE, Vincent de Paul and Presentation Sisters,). It works in an ongoing way in partnership with all other service provider especially Kildare Youth Services and Kildare Adult Learning Centre.

We really want your views on what you think of Kildare town and how you think it could be improved.
