Let’s Grow Together! Infant & Childhood Partnerships CLG has evolved from the successful journey of the Young Knocknaheeny Area Based Childhood Programme (YK) which has been in operation in the north west area of Cork city since 2015. Let’s Grow Together! provides a new governance structure which will oversee the long-term development of the area-based prevention and early intervention work previously implemented by YK.

This event will mark the launch of Let’s Grow Together! Infant & Childhood Partnerships CLG, along with the Let’s Grow Together! Strategic Plan 2021-25 and The Many Voices of Let’s Grow Together! documents.
