Education in Prison, Social inclusion.

[CorkETB🇮🇪🇪🇺 @CorkETB]

We were honoured to welcome @lawlessj to celebrate the 30 Year Anniversary of the Dillon's Cross project. The project has provided vital educational and social support to the partners and families of prisoners, addressing the often-overlooked challenges they face.

Really hopeful having read @labour manifesto to see the value of #youthwork recognised. Youth work, its value and importance in communities has successively been under resourced. Young people deserve more. To #buildbettertogether vote @Harmonica26 @jmaher0
