Local community development company in Offaly to hold AGM next week

The creation of a Creative Court at the old Birr Courthouse is one of the projects Birr 20|20 have in train.

BIRR 20|20 Vision, a local community development company formed in 2014, is holding its 2026 AGM in the Council Chambers beside the library building on Wilmer Road on Wednesday March 18th at 7.30 pm.

They have a number of projects in the works, including: the Creative Court, a space where artists and creatives can explore their craft and create; their continuing support for a burgeoning animation industry in Birr; two new town walks in planning with the 6k Camcor River Walk Trail opening later this year, and two 5k walk loops at Killaun bog in the design and specification stage; work toward securing a Family Resource Centre for the community, which will host child and family support services that are so badly needed.

Other projects include support for several local groups and clubs, with Birr 20|20 frequently acting as a facilitating entity or as a voice for concerns in the town.

Considering demands on the group they are actively recruiting new members to bring new skills, ideas and passion to the team. If you have an interest in bettering and adding value to the community, you are more than welcome to come along and join them. It is a great opportunity to get to connect with your community if you are new to the area.

They look forward to seeing you on the night. For more information on Birr 20|20 Vision please check out their website, birr2020vision.ie .
