`FLIT Financial Literacy speciallises in financial education for women and families. We provide services on a not-for-profit basis under AllSkills Education CLG in Ireland, and hold our IP under AllSkills Tech. As a 'newcomer' to the world of financial education, we were delighted to be shortlisted in six national awards during 2025, completed Enterprise Ireland New Frontiers Phase 1 & 2, and awarded Rethink Ireland's 'Start a Social Enterprise' and Three Ireland Small Business funding 2025. We plan to run community meetups during 2026 and to produce an exhibition 'Women, Money and Place' which looks at the changes in Irish legislation and policy impacting women over the last 100 years, and specifically in certain locations - Dublin inner city, Wicklow South and Carlow urban are currently on the list. We will exhibit in alignment with Ireland's EU presidency in the latter part of 2026.
