Claire McGowran is The We Act project Manager, working closely with a pan-sectoral steering group on an exciting new campaign to improve public awareness of the value and impact of the charity and community sector in Ireland. She holds a degree in Journalism from DCU and wrote for various newspapers and magazines as a digital editor for 8 years.

Living in London at the time, she volunteered with the London-Irish Abortion Rights Campaign as an organiser for Home To Vote. She's also worked with UNICEF on a campaign to end child marriage and contributed to the Emigrant Papers as part of the campaign to expand voting rights for Irish emigrants.
