Sligo Springboard Family Support Service is a not for profit organisation established in 1996 in Cranmore, Co. With over 25 years’ experience we understand just how difficult life can be at times. Based in Cranmore, we work with families from Sligo in Child and Family Support Network Area 3 (CFSN3). Our Family Support Team work with families and children to alleviate stress, to overcome difficulti
es and to encourage each individual to reach their full potential. The work is done through the following structured, needs-led programmes:
- One-to-One Support for Children and Young People,
- One-to-One Support for Parents and Adults,
- Parenting Support,
- Meitheal. We facilitates a drop-in service available to all members of the community, providing immediate assistance to individuals who may be experiencing a family crisis, housing or social welfare issues or require the use of the phone/ computer/ photocopier. Our Childcare Service provides Early Learning and Care and School Aged Childcare which incorporates a breakfast club, school bus and homework support. Our Childcare Service understands the importance of providing quality childcare that allows a child to learn and explore the world around them in a safe caring environment. To accomplish this, we implement a practical approach to curriculum development in combination with Aistear, the Irish Curriculum Framework, and Síolta, the Quality Standards Framework.
