Last week, our Midwest team completed "Understanding Trauma in Homeless Services" training.

Continuously building on our skills and compassion is important to all of us in Ana Liffey. We know our service users deserve the best, we strive to deliver the best.

Huge thanks to our fantastic Midwest team member Brian O Donovan for facilitating this training!

It was great to be visited recently by trainee GP's as part of the North Inner City GP Training Scheme.

Meeting these folks before they commence their practice is vitally important. We aim to help them understand the realities of our service users lives and what it is like for them to attend medical services.

Huge thanks to Fiona O'Reilly for organising and congratulations to her and to Dr. Austin O'Carroll on this long running, impactful GP training scheme 👏

♀️Happy International Women's Day ♀️

At Ana Liffey, we know inclusion matters. We know that paid maternity, promotions for women, women only spaces and gender sensitive services matter.

💪 57% of both our Board of Directors and our Senior Management Team are women.

🤩 The 45 women working across our back office and front line teams represent diverse cultures, experiences and expertise.

🧡 These dedicated women work hard to plan & deliver services which will reach the most marginalised women in our community. Women who are homeless, who are in addiction, who are being abused. Women with incredible strength, courage and drive to help one another despite their challenges.

🙌 This we are grateful for all of the women who lead Ana Liffey, for the women who allow us into their lives and the women coming along behind us who will be even more fierce!

Our Chief Executive Officer Dawn Russell represented us at the European Union Drugs Agency (EUDA) workshop on Technology Foresight this week is Lisbon.

Opened by the EUDA Executive Director, Dr. Lorraine Nolan, the workshop brought together a range of experts to discuss how emerging technologies will impact on the drugs field in the coming years.

Today, Minister Jennifer Murnane O’Connor TD, visited Ana Liffey's Midwest team to learn more about our services.

Speaking about Ana Liffey's Womens Health work, Minister Jennifer Murnane O Connor stated:
"Ana Liffey’s excellent women’s health programme was originally funded in 2024 through my department’s Women’s Health Action Plan. In its short time in operation it has had an incredible impact, supporting homeless women and women at risk of homelessness to access the health services to which they are entitled.
From its pilot beginnings, this programme is helping to reduce inequities and supporting women to enjoy better health outcomes. I’m privileged to have had the opportunity to visit the service myself and I’m very pleased to confirm that under Budget 2026 I have secured recurring funding of €126,562 to ensure its continuation".
