Member Townhall: New Government & Budget 2026 - Your Priorities for 2025

What would you like to see prioritised in The Wheel’s pre-Budget submission and advocacy work for 2025? 

The elections held in 2024 together with the establishment of a new Government have deeply impacted the Irish political landscape. The community and voluntary sector has been fast moving in its response to these new challenges and opportunities. We want to hear your priorities for Budget 2026 to inform our ongoing advocacy and campaigns work. 

This is a unique opportunity for you to voice your policy priorities, discuss the challenges your nonprofit faces, meet and hear from other organisations from the sector, and help guide our advocacy and campaigns work. Your insights are invaluable in helping us understand what our members need from policymakers. 

We warmly invite members of all sizes and sectors to participate in this event.  

Whether you're a staff member, volunteer, or board member, your voice is important and we want to hear it. 

The townhall will be held via Zoom and facilitated to ensure an open and productive dialogue. 

We look forward to hearing your views and working together to shape our collective future. Your voice matters, and we can't wait to hear what you have to say.
