WeCanLimerick is a new platform for community-led action in Limerick. It is a place for you to “think global and act local.” It is part of WeCanIreland on Kune, an Irish-led global distributed network of communities for change.
Kune is focused on connecting and empowering people, businesses, and communities to transform lives, society, and the planet by building learning-and-action groups & networks. It is organized around:
A. Focusing on what is possible and on what can happen.
B. Stimulating & supporting Citizen & Local-Community initiatives.
C. Optimising & replicating what works.
D. Sharing lessons learned & providing peer-supporlocally, nationally and globally.
By working together locally in far better ways, and focusing on getting done what can be done, we can create well-informed, just, democratic, kind, and sustainable societies globally.
Let’s connect, learn from each other’s insights, and work together to solve the challenges face.
To accelerate the response to the Ukrainian Refugee crisis we have prepared the In Our Care program.
In Our Care helps to connect local knowledge and goodwill with county and national processes to provide:
Safe shelter and supportive integration for Ukrainian refugees while in Ireland
A framework for supporting refugees of all nationalities, and
Long-lasting environmental, social, and economic benefits for local communities.
Our response to this crisis can be transformational and must be locally led. InOurCare supports all sectors of society to come together and includes a facility for local property professionals to advise local authorities and map availability and characteristics of potential housing.

Connect communities with resources, roadmaps and mentors for each goal.
