We are delighted to announce that FASD Ireland has been awarded €6,500 towards the establishment and pilot of the National FASD Hub for Ireland by Social Entrepreneurs Ireland Ideas Academy. Thank you to everyone at Social Entrepreneurs Ireland - especially Lydia Redmond & Éabha Harper-McKeever for all of the support and guidance over the summer whilst our CEO Tristan Casson-Rennie participated in the Ideas Academy for FASD Ireland 

This 'seed funding' will support the establishment of a National FASD Hub for Ireland, and plans are already in place for this essential helpline to go live during Q1 of 2023. 

The National FASD Hub for Ireland will provide much needed support, signposting, advice and advocacy for families living with Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, as well as professionals working in support agencies, education and healthcare. 

Sincere gratitude to this year’s sponsors Bank of America and Life’s 2 Good Foundation for supporting the Ideas Academy this year. Your generosity IS changing lives across the country.
