Shannon Family Resource Centre Receives €5000 for Parenting Peer Support Group

Shannon Family Resource Centre (Shannon FRC) is celebrating a major boost for local families after securing €5,000 in national funding to further strengthen its Parenting Peer Support Group. The investment recognises the vital role the group plays in supporting parents across the community and will enable the centre to expand and enhance its programme throughout 2026. Established in 2023 by Family Support Worker Cathal Dillon, the group has grown into a trusted, welcoming space where parents can connect, share experiences and build confidence in their parenting journey. Alan Morrissey was joined by Cathy O Byrne, founder of The Swallows Trail Parent Support and Shazia Shaikh & Leah McNamara, parents attending the peer support group. Image © www.shannonfrc.com/gallery
