The production and publication of the Members' Handbook for the Club is intended to facilitate a greater understanding of the Club, its structures and its functions amongst the Board members, members, players and others connected with the Club.
The first edition of the Members Handbook, published this month, contains the copies of the Club’s Strategic Development Plan, Standing Orders, Child Protection Policy, Code of Conduct and Disciplinary Procedure.
The text, below, of the Mission Statement of the Club clearly sets this Club apart from similar sporting organisations in the County of Dún Laoghaire Rathdown and indeed, the participatory nature of the decision making structures established within this Club allows for a real sense of ownership by all members, whether playing or non-playing.
Our Mission
“Through the universal love of football, provide an opportunity for integration and social inclusion amongst the young people from many backgrounds, religions and nationalities living in the Central Dún Laoghaire area and through, education and example, promote respect and tolerance for difference, encourage co-operation and unity of purpose and through, teamwork in sport develop lasting bonds of mutual support and friendship as each young person plays with commitment and pride for their own hometown”
From the establishment of the Club by Abrahim Abdul Wahid and Ian M. Kane back in 2002 and through the assistance received from Dún Laoghaire Community Association, Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, An Garda Síochána and most recently, the Equal Transition Support Project, this Club has successfully executed each of its programmes aimed at integration, tackling anti-social behaviour and encouraging responsible and active citizenship.
The Club is continuing to roll-out programmes with these very important objectives and it is especially pleased to have been offered the possibility of doing so in the Shankill area following the allocation of a pitch at Shanganagh Cliffs to the Club by Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council. Indeed, many of our most promising players now come from the Shankill area providing, some would say, a much needed injection of new talent and skills in to our squads.
The success of this Club depends greatly on the dedication and commitment shown by our most important members, the players themselves – they will be the future owners of this Club and to this end our duty as Directors is to facilitate and guide the structured development of the Club on their behalf.

Nota Bene: At the May 26th meeting of the Board of the Club, it was agreed that each member of the Club, players and non-players, should receive a copy of the Handbook and sign for same giving the personal undertaking to read it carefully. Failure to adhere to this procedure will mean that a member has voluntarily resigned from the Club and therefore, cannot participate in any of the Club's activities. There are no exceptions as this decision covered each of the Board members also.
