The variety of pieces are a mix of humour, poignancy, joy and sincerity reflecting the individuality of each contributor. The project is part of the Dublin Simon Community’s Learning and Development service, which aims to provide education, training and personal development to foster wellbeing, independence and progression options such as further education, volunteering and employment.
