Bray Area Partnership renamed to Bray & North Wicklow Area Partnership

We are delighted to announce that we have officially changed our name to Bray & North Wicklow Area Partnership (BNWAP). This new name better reflects our work related to programmes such as the Social Inclusion Community Activation Programme across the Bray and North Wicklow areas.

Many of those we work with will recall our original name as Bray Partnership. In 2006 our first name change was to Bray Area Partnership. So, our recent name change, the last we envisage, will have us known as Bray & North Wicklow Area Partnership.

For almost 30 years, we have been at the forefront of supporting communities, individuals and local projects to address identified needs and realise positive outcomes and impacts.  As BNWAP we will continue to work collaboratively in providing inclusion focused supports and services throughout the area.

Our mission remains the same: to work in partnership with all sectors of the local community to achieve a fairer and more inclusive society by increasing equal access to basic services, education, training and employment for marginalised individuals and groups. 

"Our name change to Bray & North Wicklow Area Partnership is a good one in reflecting the company’s inclusion focused work throughout the area,” said CEO Peter Brennan. "By using a joined-up approach, we aim to ensure that more people in need can benefit from our services, programmes and initiatives aimed at tackling inequality, providing employment support, promoting education, and improving community well-being."
