Join us for an upcoming CITICESS Masterclass focused on sharing learning and results from the Ballyhoura Breakthrough Pilot, currently being delivered in the North Side Estates, Charleville.

This online session will bring together CITICESS partners and key stakeholders to reflect on the progress of the pilot action, explore emerging findings, and consider the implications for policy, practice and future service delivery.

The Ballyhoura Breakthrough Pilot, developed through the Interreg Europe-funded CITICESS project, is testing a citizen-centred, coordinated approach to supporting families experiencing complex and overlapping challenges. The masterclass will provide an opportunity to share insights from this work and contribute to ongoing interregional learning across the partnership.
