The Limerick Writers’ Centre and the Mid-West Regional Drugs & Alcohol Forum have joined together to release a new collection of work to share the stories of people working with vulnerable communities.

The collection announced this week shines a light on the essential work being carried out with vulnerable populations across the Mid-West region and beyond.

This important publication brings together the voices, experiences, and insights of frontline workers who dedicate themselves to supporting some of society’s most marginalised individuals. By sharing these stories, Frontline Voices aims to foster deeper understanding and connection between those working on the frontlines and the wider community.
