Ballyfermot Advance Project

Ballyfermot Advance Project was established in 2003 to support people in the local community with problem drug and alcohol use. In 2017, the service was relaunched and restructured following a strategic review of the project. After this review, Ballyfermot Advance Project renewed its main focus of providing low threshold supports and engaging with the most hard-to-reach people using drugs and alcohol, as well as providing support for concerned persons.
