Community Finance Ireland (CFI) continues to support local and early-stage community initiatives. One such project that has recently benefitted from this support is Hair Together, a social enterprise based in Dublin and founded by CEO Eileen McHugh who says:
“Hair Together deliver hairdressing and barbering courses with a social twist. While learning practical skills and exploring career paths, participants also learn valuable tools to enhance their overall well-being. We offer a safe space for personal growth with our main focus on young people from Ballymun and women who have experienced prison”
