Hampton Wood Social Impact Report launched 

Tuath is delighted to share the Hampton Wood Community Engagement and Social Impact Report, which highlights the positive outcomes achieved through our community engagement work at this development in Finglas.

This report details Tuath’s structured, demand-led and data-driven approach for identifying, responding to, and addressing community needs within Hampton Wood. Through our community engagement framework, Tuath supports residents with targeted initiatives that promote wellbeing, safety, cohesion and opportunity. This framework is being applied across Ireland.

Key initiatives at Hampton Wood include: 

• Regular clinics to address rent arrears, antisocial behaviour and estate concerns.
• Physical improvements: Repairs and upgrades to communal areas, including carpets and door/window fixes.
• Partnerships Collaboration with Gardaí, Fingal County Council and local services to address antisocial behaviour.
• Resident voices: Surveys and workshops that shaped future priorities.
• Creative placemaking: A large-scale, community art project with four resident-designed murals.
• Multiple family and youth engagement events.
• Wellbeing programmes, such as Safefood and Dublin North Partnership nutrition workshops.
• Youth empowerment: Hair Together, a €20,000 HFA-funded programme combining hairstyling with confidence and wellbeing.

With these initiatives, Tuath had a significant social impact. 

• Community cohesion: Events and murals brought neighbours together, strengthened relationships, and built a stronger local identity.
• Crime prevention and safety: Creative projects reduced graffiti and transformed anti-social spaces, with residents reporting greater feelings of safety.
• Mental wellbeing: Families and children benefitted from creative, education and social activities that reduced isolation and built resilience.
• Youth empowerment: Programmes like Hair Together provided confidence, skills and pathways to further learning.
• Family support: Safefood-funded cooking classes promoted healthier lifestyles and improved mealtime routines.
