Oakfield Trust is the trading name of Clondalkin Community Property CLG. It was established in 1996 as a community-based social enterprise with registered charity status (Charity Regulator Authority No: 20041861). Its core charitable purpose is to provide a range of property-based services and related supports for community and local projects in marginalized areas and socially excluded communities.
In practical terms, our core trading activities consist of providing commercial properties which are all rented to tenants in the social enterprise and community sector. Currently, we have a portfolio of five properties in the Clondalkin area, three of which are owned and two leased.
Oakfield Trust Activities:
Oakfield Trust (OT) exists to act as a catalyst for social gain in areas of social exclusion (particularly local) through the provision of community & social enterprise facilities, services, and supports. It does this by:
- providing property facilities and services
- using surpluses to support tenants, our community, and the wider social enterprise sector. These supports are intended to provide projects with a secure platform to develop and succeed, and thereby benefit their communities.
It has also assisted local organisations with project development loans and grants and new-build project management. In 2022, OT hired a Social Impact Manager to increase its activities in the social enterprise sector and launched its first social enterprise grants programme. Read more on our website.
The Board of OT is a voluntary, collective decision-making and oversight body acting in the best interests of the organisation. It has some experienced members (read more here) but is recruiting additional members as the organisation develops and innovates in response to emerging needs.
What is required?

- Management and/or practice experience in the statutory, voluntary or community sectors
- Experience in any sector of - Accountancy/Finance, Property Development and Management, Planning and Legal, Business Management/HR; Communications/Marketing
- Openness, enthusiasm, and willingness to participate in Board discussions
- Understanding of the requirements of corporate governance in the voluntary and community sector or a willingness to participate in relevant training
