THRIVE IN BEACON LOUGH EAST

What?

We want families to access support at the earliest opportunity. Thrive in Beacon Lough East is part of a development of three Community Hubs which we are helping to fund. Through these hubs we are engaging with families and providing support with a range of matters such as debt, accessing education, domestic abuse support, mental health concerns and much more.

Why?

In the last quarter the project has engaged with 240 people, 75 of those being young people. The area is already noticing improvements and in the last quarter reported a 17 % fall in ASB. We also hope that through the project we will see a reduction in the number of safeguarding referrals.
