Children and Families

We recognise that living in difficult circumstances often creates a cycle of disadvantage for families and children. Our aim is to break that cycle. To do this, we invest in organisations that provide Parenting Programmes and Direct Family Support, using proven early intervention and prevention models that are ready to replicate and scale and in organisations that advocate for children's rights and to end child poverty.
 
Children and Families Goals

    Children's rights have been made more real by inclusion in the Constitution and are evident in a critical mass of communities in Ireland
    Separated kids are treated equally in the Irish care system
