Lusk is our town, and we all have a part to play in shaping its future.

As Chairperson of the Lusk Community Forum, I would like to invite residents, community groups, charity organisations, sports groups, local businesses, cultural groups and anyone with an interest in Lusk to join us at our next meeting on Monday, 23 November 2026, from 7.00 pm to 8.30 pm at Saint Macullin’s Centre.

Established as part of the Lusk for Life initiative, the Forum brings together the different voices that make up our community, creating a space to share ideas, exchange information and identify opportunities to work together. It is not about one person or one organisation; it is about what we can achieve collectively.

Through the Lusk for Life Town Centre First Plan, we have an exciting opportunity to help shape how our town develops. Projects already underway include the development of Lusk’s identity and wayfinding, tourism, streetscape improvements, the Farmers’ Market and the new Sports Hub. Our meetings provide an opportunity to understand how these projects are progressing and, importantly, consider how we as a community can contribute to their success.

We also want to encourage more people to get involved in working groups and initiatives that will help bring these plans to life. Whether your interest is in sport, culture, the environment, local business or simply making Lusk a better place to live, your perspective and experience are valuable.You do not need to represent a large organisation or have previous experience to take part.

If you live, work, volunteer or have an interest in Lusk’s future, there is a place for you in this conversation.

Please come along, share your views and be part of the conversation. Together, we can help Lusk grow and develop in a way that reflects the needs and ambitions of our community. I look forward to welcoming you.
