Aisling Project is an after school intervention working throughout the community of Ballymun, Dublin. Established in 1997 in response to the recognized social issues of the area, the Aisling Project aims to tackle educational disadvantage and encourage improved school participation and completion by targeting children and young people who are at risk of early school leaving. We currently operate over five after school centres across Ballymun, working with over 150 children and Young People from the ages of 7 to 16+ years to improve educational outcomes.

Aisling Project provides a safe and secure environment for all attending children and young people, with a strong focus on the voice of the child and respecting each child as an individual. We have always been inspired by a vision of love, care and support with each child and young person as the focus for everything we do. Aisling Project takes a holistic child focused approach and provides a wrap-around approach to care, education, and listening to the voice of the child.  

Aisling Project takes a holistic child focused approach and provides a wrap-around approach to care, education, and listening to the voice of the child.  It has links to several other services, both local and further afield and makes appropriate referrals when required.

Aisling Project provides a wide range of ever expanding activities all in a welcoming, safe, caring and fun-filled environment. Each child and young person who attends is provided with a hot nutritious dinner and is supported with their homework.  Activities provided are always evolving and include Drama, Swimming, Lego Robotics, Gymnastics, Health Awareness, and Gardening Programmes.
