Placing Creggan on the Map

Many institutions and individuals charged with investment and economic policy have excluded communities such as Creggan from their strategies, if not their minds.

However, Creggan Enterprises Limited (CEL) is determined to place Creggan firmly on the agenda of both policy makers and planners.

CEL is working to create a vision for the next generation which will provide equal employment opportunities, proper amenities and the right to challenge the dehumanising effects of poverty and long-term unemployment.
