Project Description

The Loop Head Together Company Limited by Guarantee (LT CLG) is a legal entity set up to undertake and support activities that can deliver on the Loop Head Regional Development Strategy (LRDS).

LT CLG has its own bank account, and its own legal structure. It is essentially the ‘Ministry of Special Projects’ combined with the ‘Ministry of Finance’ of the Loop Head Together movement. LT CLG is envisaged to plan and deliver as well as support projects that effect the peninsula as a whole and that won’t fit the scope of the existing community groups or enterprises on the peninsula.

The decision-making structure that will ensure LT CLG will meet the commitments and goals of the LRDS will be put together during 2023.

Project Justification & Objectives

Words without action are dreams, yet actions without a well deliberated and motivating strategy tend to disappoint. The Loop Head Together movement is very conscious of this and is working towards learning from initiatives all over the world to deliver the right balance between deliberations and actions.

Once deliberation has resulted in well-informed and well-made decisions, there is a need for an organisation that has the capacity to plan, fund and execute the decisions to provide concrete results on the ground. This is what LT CLG is set up to do.

The LT CLG will act as a vehicle through which project funding can be applied for, secured, and administered. It will also be a home for assets the LT movement use to help it function such as its website and social media presence for transparency and communication.
