Abstract
Finglas was chosen as one of thirteen sites in Ireland for the Area Based Childhood (ABC) Programme, a three-year initiative funded by the Irish Government and Atlantic Philanthropies, and managed by the Centre for Effective Services and Pobal. The Better Finglas Programme emerged from a collaboration of local agencies, including Barnardos (the lead agency), the Health Service Executive, Dublin City Council, schools, and community groups. Its vision is to create a community where services work together with families to improve the developmental, health, and educational outcomes of young children. Key objectives include increasing access to evidence-based programmes for children from pre-birth to eight years, enhancing parenting skills, improving children’s developmental and literacy outcomes, and strengthening service provider capacity. Better Finglas operates through five main strands: Pregnancy and New Parents, Parenting, Early Years, Literacy, and Interagency collaboration, aiming to deliver coordinated, high-quality support for children and families in the area.
