Summary
Ana Liffey Project just launched a freephone number, 1800 78 68 28, as their “One First Step” for anyone in Limerick or beyond facing homelessness, addiction, or gender-based violence. Since 1982, this charity has evolved from addiction support to tackling broader social harms — mental health, housing, relationships — with centers across Ireland. CEO Dawn Russell stresses creating safe, low-threshold spaces where complex issues are met with compassion, not judgment. Their new website, AnaLiffey.ie, and partnerships like LEAR with An Garda Síochána bring services directly to people through outreach and mobile units. Whether you need help now or just someone to talk to, Ana Liffey’s mission is clear: From Harm To Hope. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
