www.licp.ie – New website for city centre community partnership

The new mural on Nicholas Street.

THE worldwide Covid pandemic failed to prevent a Limerick City Centre community organisation from launching a fully rebranded company with its own bespoke website.

LICP (Limerick Island Community Partners) was formed from the amalgamation of St Maryโ€™s AID CLG and Kings Island Youth and Community Centre and the new company has just launched its new website, www.licp.ie

Acting Manager Pat Kennedy said that LICPโ€™s resilience in serving the community during a pandemic wasย evident in its determination to provide a full range of support services. ย These include a meals delivery service, community bus hire, outreach education, estates management, law and mediation service, counselling service, bee-keeping and honey production, bicycle recycling and repairs.
โ€œUnfortunately, our community cafรฉ was unable to remain open due to Covid 19 Level 5 restrictions but weโ€™re all looking forward to its re-opening in the near future,โ€ he said.

Based in the heart of the cityโ€™s Medieval Quarter, LICP collaborated with local artist, Catherine Oโ€™Halloran and her team at โ€˜Draw Out โ€“ Urban Exhibitionistโ€™ to create a giant mural on Nicholas Street. Depicting a female form thinking โ€“ the feather in her hair represents both strength and fragility at the same time. The mural alone makes the medieval neighbourhood well worth a visit.
โ€œLICP is also delighted that the third year ofย its baked Limerick Ham Christmas Project is up and running and is now taking orders for Christmas 2020.
