CESCA | Cork Equal and Sustainable Communities Alliance

FOR SOCIAL INCLUSION & EQUALITY

Cork Equal and Sustainable Communities Alliance (CESCA) is an alliance of eighteen diverse community and voluntary organisations working in Cork city. We work in partnership with and are supported by the HSE Social Inclusion Services in Cork and work closely with the HSE Cork Kerry Community Healthcare Service.

CESCA was established in 2014 to promote and progress the equality and social inclusion agendas in the city and to ensure that there was space and recognition of civil society and community development organisations within a wider equality and social justice remit.
