Major events to take place during Leitrim Inclusion Week
A week of events from 12th to 20th November will bring people across Leitrim together to build a more inclusive county.
Leitrim Inclusion Week 2026 will run from Thursday 12th to Friday 20th November under the theme Stronger Together, with a programme of events across the county focused on inclusion, connection and mutual support.
This year's theme is built on a simple message - a community is only as strong as its most vulnerable members. Inclusive communities empower everyone, lift up those who need support and make sure no one is left behind.
By sharing resources and looking out for one another, Leitrim can be a place where everyone has the support they need to belong, participate and thrive.
