A huge thank you to all the education and community providers who joined us with exhibition stands at our recent Showcase in Croke Park.

Your energy, enthusiasm, and engagement helped create a vibrant atmosphere throughout the day. Attendees really enjoyed discovering the wide range of services, supports, opportunities, and programmes available within the community, and the exhibition area was full of lively conversations and valuable connections.

The buzz you created added so much to the event, and we truly appreciate the time and effort you put into making the Showcase such a success.

Thank you for being part of it - we look forward to working together again in the future!

An emotional day at Dublin Adult Learning Centre as our SNA Class of 25/26 finished their final class together

There were lots of hugs, laughs, tears, and heartfelt goodbyes as this incredible group celebrated the end of their journey together. What a wonderful class they’ve been — supportive, dedicated, and full of kindness from day one.

A very special thank you goes to their amazing tutors, Roisin and Louisa, who were absolutely adored by the group throughout the year. The class even surprised them with a beautifully printed card and poem (with a little help from ChatGPT).

We are so proud of every single learner as they take up work in their local community. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for you all.

Congratulations, SNA Class of 25/26 🎓
