2024/25 Parent Peer Support Fund

The Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, Roderic O’Gorman, has launched the 2024/25 Parent Peer Support Fund. The fund is open to organisations working with parents and/or children and young people to facilitate the development of parent peer support projects.

A total of €75,000 was distributed among 37 organisations under the 2023/24 Parent Peer Support Fund. This funding facilitated delivery of parent peer support projects by organisations who provide a diverse range of services such as domestic violence, kinship care, breast-feeding, disability, and migrant supports.

This year, the total funding available has increased to €100,000 and a new tier of funding has been introduced for applicants.

• Tier 1 will provide grants of €2,000 to 37 successful applicants who either currently operate, or wish to establish a new parent peer support project.
• Tier 2 will provide grants of €5,000 to 5 successful applicants who wish to scale up an existing parent peer support project, which is already having a positive impact on parents.
