Lifestart Supporting Parents Leitrim, Sligo and West Cavan CLG is a not‑for‑profit organisation dedicated to improving outcomes for young children by empowering the adults who care for them. Working in partnership with the Lifestart Foundation and funded by Tusla, the Child and Family Agency and the HSE, the service provides evidence‑based information on early development and learning, helping parents feel confident and capable in their parenting role.
