CLONDALKIN DRUG AND ALCOHOL TASK FORCE PROJECT MANAGEMENT COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Clondalkin Drug and Alcohol Task Force Project Management Company Limited By Guarantee (CDATF) is a community-focused organisation dedicated to reducing drug-related harms for individuals, families and the wider Clondalkin area. Established as one of fourteen government-initiated task forces in 1997, CDATF brings together statutory, voluntary and local partners to coordinate and deliver a comprehensive continuum of care that includes prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, supply reduction and family support.

Through targeted funding and direct service provision, CDATF supports eight partner organisations that run a range of programmes such as youth services, community outreach, treatment and recovery initiatives, and specialised family-support interventions. The task force also offers training for schools, community workers and healthcare professionals, and runs public health campaigns like #kickthevape to address emerging issues such as vaping among young people.

Rooted in the Clondalkin community, CDATF's collaborative approach ensures that services are responsive, sustainable and aligned with the strategic plan 2018-2025, which aims to reclaim community development as an effective response to drug harms, poverty and inequality.
