At the Clondalkin Festival, volunteers connected with families and residents through a public drug-awareness initiative supported by the Scientology Community Centre Dublin and the Truth About Drugs campaign.
The activity, described by organisers as a day of meaningful conversations, placed the subject of drugs in a constructive and accessible context. Volunteers distributed educational booklets, answered questions and spoke with visitors about prevention, resilience and informed choices.
The initiative formed part of the wider Truth About Drugs programme, a secular educational campaign supported internationally by Scientologists and community volunteers. Its materials are designed to provide clear information on drugs and their effects, helping individuals make informed decisions.
The Church of Scientology supports this campaign as part of its wider social-betterment work inspired by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, whose writings placed emphasis on education, personal responsibility and practical help for society.
Ivan Arjona, who represents the Church of Scientology before European and international institutions, said the Clondalkin outreach showed how civil society can contribute to healthier communities. “When volunteers bring factual information to public spaces with respect and care, they strengthen the fabric of local life,” he said.
