A group that matches local women with mums in the direct provision system is running a new appeal in the hope that more people will take part in the initiative.
Let’s Match Mums was set up by Louisamay Hanrahan last year to provide mothers residing in direct provision centres not only with much needed items for their children, but to give people the opportunity to mix with other mums and build support networks.
Louisamay says that the project gained immediate support after its inception, with over 1000 local mothers signing up to participate within a day of its launch.
