Our Projects
Making a difference in the County
Dr Pat O’Hara, member of Changing Lives DLR Expert Advisory Group, says:
“At Changing Lives DLR we are committed to inclusiveness and creativity. Our aim is to support and augment quality initiatives, while avoiding duplication and adding value. We are particularly interested in projects of proven worth that can be replicated elsewhere in the county.”
We are initially funding carefully selected projects around three themes:
- Supporting and working with infant children and their parents who face significant challenges. See: Supporting Parents
- Helping young people to thrive in school by providing additional supports to keep them engaged in their education. See: Keeping Kids in School.
- Enabling older people to age well where they belong. See: Ageing Well in Place.
We will expand this mix of initiatives as the Fund grows and we will pay particular attention to strengthening leadership and collaboration that will improve social cohesion and our environmental responsibilities across Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown.
