The Waterford Public Participation Network (PPN) is a network of community/voluntary, social inclusion and environmental organisations, based in Waterford.
Waterford PPN has more than 600 member groups and includes community-based groups, organisations, associations, clubs, societies, charities etc
The PPN is the main way that Waterford City & County Council and other formal bodies connect with groups in Waterford. Whenever the local authority needs people to participate in consultations or sit on the committees that form policies, such as Special Policy Committees (SPCs), it will call on the PPN to select these people from its members.
Waterford PPN is independent of the Local Authority

What Our Members Say
Collaborative engagement and a voice for all participants
We had the most amazing night at the Awards in the Park Hotel, well organised by people who care about the community and its welfare.
PPN – tirelessly fighting to keep the community going – on track.
Thanks you @Waterford PPN for a fantastic evening.
Excellent informative evening, would encourage other community groups and organisations to attend these nights & learn valuable tools to assist with applying for grants and funding.
