As a community development project in the heart of South West Inner City Dublin advocacy is a large part of the role Robert Emmet CDP perform- advocacy for more appropriate local services, more appropriate development strategy and more appropriate policy.

Robert Emmet CDP are a small part of the South West Inner City Afterschool Alliance (SICCDA (South Inner City Community Development Association), Solas Project , Family Resource Centre St. Michaels Estate, Rialto Youthproject, Dolphin House Hwc who have come together to develop a clear understanding of the impact of a new funding model- The NCS- on SWIC afterschool services (SWIC services face funding cuts of up to 70%)- and make a case with policy makers to edit the model to ensure services are not forced to shut down and already underserved children don’t lose another vital support.
