Minister O’Gorman Parent Peer Support Fund for Ireland Organizations (€50,000 in Funding)

The Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, Roderic O’Gorman, is pleased to announce €50,000 in funding for organisations under the Supporting Parents – Parent Peer Support Fund.

The aim of the initial pilot fund is to make it easier for parents to access peer supports, raise awareness of and invite more parent peer support activities within community and voluntary sector organisations and develop resources in partnership with parents rather than delivered to parents.

• €50,000 will be made available for initiatives promoting parent peer support groups
• successful applicants stand to receive grants of up to €2,000 to carry out parent peer support group projects throughout Ireland
