BRILL FRC is pleased to host a Civil Society Engagement Visit with the Central Bank of Ireland. This is an important opportunity for local people, families, community groups and organisations to share their experiences, concerns and questions about financial services and the wider economy.

We would especially love to hear from the community about issues such as:

💬 Scams and fraud
💬 Difficulties opening bank accounts or accessing financial supports
💬 Financial wellbeing and inclusion
💬 Challenges facing local organisations and community groups

Your voice and lived experience matter and can help shape how financial systems better support communities like ours.

Our Community Education Officer, Lorraine O’Connor, recently visited our Community Education Network Member (CEN), ATEC in Waterford to learn more about the incredible work being done to support learners and strengthen communities through education.

From inclusive learning opportunities to the strong sense of connection and hope fostered within the centre, the visit highlighted the powerful impact community education can have in people’s lives.

We couldn’t do it without you 🙏🫶🏻

As an additional needs parent, you already carry so much. It takes a truly special person to still give their time and support to others, despite their own challenges. People with lived experience often understand in ways others cannot and are often the first to offer encouragement, support, and a helping hand. For this we as a community are truly grateful 🤝🫶🏻💕🙏
