Coleraine
Rural & Urban Network play a vital role in supporting the Council
to deliver our Community Support Plan by providing services and
activities which promote networking, building local capacity and
providing a lobbying voice for the community& voluntary sector
within the borough of Coleraine. The Network is committed to developing
strong cross sectoral partnerships to deliver services on a
collaborative basis and will no doubt be essential in assisting local
communities to play a proactive role in community planning arrangements
within the near future.’

The
Northern Drugs & Alcohol Co-Ordination Team, Northern Health and
Social Services Board and DHSSPS have supported CRUN with significant
funding over the past several years to address substance misuse
locally. This reflects the quality education, prevention and training
services that CRUN have provided through their SmaC project for several
years and more recently through the LEAD (Learning & Education in
Alcohol & Drugs) Project. One of CRUN's prime strengths is that
they genuinely seek to work in partnership with others at a local and
strategic level in the delivery of quality assured services in the
Causeway area. We wish the project every success in the future and are
confident that they will continue to maintain the high standards and
relationships with others that has contributed to the high reputation
of CRUN as a group that delivers.
