The Future of Northern Ireland's Local Museum Services
Northern Ireland Museums Council The Future of Northern Ireland’s Local Museum Services 2012 Introduction Museums play a unique and vital role in preserving our common heritage. They collect and safeguard artefacts and specimens, interpreting them and making them accessible to as many people as possible for inspiration, learning and enjoyment. In doing so museums make notable contributions to the cultural and creative fabric of this part of the world, to our identity and how we would wish the world to see us. Their value is recognised by government: the Northern Ireland Executive has set out its vision and ambition for the sector through the Northern Ireland Museums Policy, which is a building block of the Programme for Government 2011-15. Through the Programme for Government 2011-15, the Northern Ireland Executive has stated its commitment to proceed with the reorganisation of local government by 2015. This will see a reduction in the number of local councils, from 26 to 11, the aspiration being to create stronger more efficient councils delivering additional services while being responsive to the needs, aspirations and concerns of citizens. This change will have a direct impact upon the 20 museums that are run by 17 of the current local councils. But it will affect the National Museums Northern Ireland and the other 18 independent and voluntary-run museums too. In short the reorganisation of local government will fundamentally revise the way our museums are run and how they deliver their services. It will directly influence how the evidence of our cultures and identities is looked after, and how these collections will be developed and used for the cultural, social and economic benefit of this and future generations.

Social Investment Fund Summary & Analysis Social
SOCIAL INVESTMENT FUND SUMMARY & ANALYSIS The Review of Public Administration and Local Government Reform, the development of community planning, the Social Investment Fund, and other political and administrative changes in Northern Ireland mark a unique opportunity to reassert the principles of community development and good relations and, in particular, where these sit within local authorities. In recognition of this opportunity, the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland has recently completed a substantial research project through its Causeway Communities Engagement Programme. This series of 5 ‘In-Brief’ publications summarises the findings from this research and some of the policy implications. This series of 5 In-Brief publications has been completed through the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland’s Causeway Communities Engagement Programme. The Causeway Communities Engagement Programme (CCEP) is a pilot initiative to build community capacity and engagement in selected areas in each of the four Council areas involved in the proposed Causeway Coast & Glens Council (Ballymoney, Coleraine, Limavady and Moyle). It began in January 2012 and is scheduled to run until December 2014. The Programme is funded by the International Fund for Ireland, Atlantic Philanthropies and the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland. The key aims of CCEP are: — Developing relationships and capacity, sharing and learning, meeting local needs; — Addressing future political and administrative changes; — Linking local communities and groups with agencies and Council functions; — Tackling community tensions and divisions; — Addressing the legacy of the conflict; — Sharing the process model and policy lessons with other Council areas and policy makers. The Social Investment Fund (SIF) has now been established to run until 2015 and has been allocated £80 million by the Northern Ireland Executive.
