Over the past 5 weeks, we partnered with the @SolasProject to run a Dragons’ Den–style programme for 10–12-year-olds at Scoil Treasa Naofa in Dublin 8. Our team mentored students as they developed business ideas, building confidence, creativity and teamwork.

Save the date! Next Wed, 3rd December, our crew from The Yard will be selling their beautiful handmade goods at their first market of the year. Pop by, say hello, and show your support! Wednesday 3rd December 11am–3pm 8PV7+F2 Dublin 8 (by James Street Post Office)

Got the opportunity to speak on the importance of strong responses and supports for young people involved in offending at every level. Diverting young people from crime is significantly more beneficial for everyone than locking them up after the crime @SolasProject @TonightVMTV

We believe that everyone deserves to be safe and welcome, whether you have lived here for generations or have come here to make a home on Basin Lane . We will get further together 💛
