Community Wellbeing reflects more than just out physical and mental wellbeing, it can also describe the wider conditions we need as individuals and communities to have a better quality of life, healthier environment, increased prosperity and temporal spiritual wellbeing.

Our Vision has been developed through a bottom up approach encompassing the vision of the PPN membership/Offaly citizens in the decision-making process.

  • Values Culture & Meaning
  • Environment & Sustainability
  • Health (Physical & Mental)
  • Economy & Resources
  • Social & Community Development
  • Participation, Democracy & Good Governance
