2017 was a milestone year for The Wheel, Ireland’s national association of community and voluntary organisations, charities and social enterprises. It marked the first year of our ambitious strategy Stronger Charities, Stronger Communities (2017-2020).

The scope, reach and impact of our work grew significantly in 2017. We launched a range of new initiatives and services that expanded the scope of our work at grassroots, national and European level. Our membership has grown for fourteen years running, and in 2017 surpassed the 1,300 mark, strengthening our position as the largest representative body for the sector.

This document provides a snapshot of some of our work and key achievements in 2017. A full Impact Report can be downloaded on our website as part of the Director’s Report for 2017. I hope that you will join us in 2018 as we continue to work towards our vision of a thriving community and voluntary sector at the heart of a fair and just society.

Kind regards,

CEO, The Wheel

We launched the first ever impact awards for Irish charities. The Charity Impact Awards showcased and celebrated the work of Irish charities in 2017.
