The Gathering
Find out moreThe Gathering
The Gathering is a collaboration of earth and water protectors, community groups, activists and individuals who come from all over the Island of Ireland to share their campaigns and inspire and support each other.
We organise a big get-together every year. In June 2024 this was at the Seamus Heaney Homeplace in Bellaghy.
