The SAOL project is based in the North Inner City of Dublin and is a community based rehabilitation and education project for women in treatment for drug addiction. Residential facilities for drug addicted people who are either detoxing, stabilising or in need of a short term safe space to contemplate and plan their future are few and far between in Ireland. Indeed there is NOWHERE that provides a place where women can go and bring their children for a respite from the every day stresses of drug addiction.

We were, therefore, very pleased recently when the National Training and Development Institute in Longford offered us the use of a small house on the grounds of their facility in Coolamber, Co. Longford. The house is ideally situated close to the main house of Coolamber and has the potential to be developed into a safe, warm environment with play areas for children. However the house is in a very bad state of repair and needs extensive work to make it habitable. The benefit to us of having the use of this respite place is that we can connect with the main facility in Coolamber which provides a residential year long education and training programme for individuals who are drug free.

In order to carry out the necessary renovations to the house we need to raise capital – and this is where you come in. We are seeking 400 Friends of SAOL to attend a fundraising concert on July 20th at 8.00 pm in Liberty Hall. Tickets are priced at €20 each. Our guest list will feature a number of exciting artists from the fields of contemporary and traditional music and poetry. They include Damien Dempsey, Wally Page, Johnny Mulhearne, Gerry Fish, Theo Dorgan, Paula Meehan, Dr. Millar, Zrazy, The SAOL Singers and many more….

You can help us achieve our target by becoming involved in any or all of the following activities:

Buying tickets
Making a donation to the project
Passing on the word about the event
Lending your skills in public relations

For further information about the event please contact Cathleen O’Neill or Janet Colgan at the above telephone number. Tickets are available directly from SAOL. Contact siobhan@saolproject.ie or telephone the office.

(note: I have nothing to do with this project. I heard about it from a friend, its seems like a good cause for a legitimate charity)
