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

(RCN) 20054717
