Chairperson’s Foreward Niche community health project is delighted to present this 2010 annual report. The report demonstrates the wide range and volume of positive community health work that was undertaken through the year from lifestyle and fitness, to services for new parents, community food projects, assisting local people to access support services, arts for health activities and community promotion of the national cancer screening programme. This work has taken place through collaboration with the local community as well as successful partnerships with local and national organisations. It has been a challenging year. The people of the area are experiencing the effects of the wider economic situation through cuts in services, reduced welfare, and with fewer opportunities for jobs, and training. Niche, as well as other organisations in the area, has never been busier, the demand for services is high and the need to adapt and respond has been necessary to strive for better health outcomes. The pages ahead report on the work of the organisation in this year, focusing particular attention on how we plan and prioritise the programmes, describing the outcomes and benefits for the participating individuals and groups, the overall progress made in the year and policy initiatives undertaken and developing in the near future.

This link provides direct access to the city centre to east and to Wellington Bridge to the west, situated below the site, as well as University College Cork and its Mardyke Arena to the south (see Figure 1.1). There are also a number of internal roads on the site providing access to the various buildings, but the original secondary access to the complex from the south west of the site is no longer usable, as the adjoining Our Lady’s Hospital complex is now in separate ownership.
