Literacy Friendly Longford
Raising awareness about literacy needs among local businesses in Longford.
In Cavan and Monaghan, we set up a Regional Adult Literacy Coalition to implement the Adult Literacy for Life strategy. It has representatives from different organisations working together to improve services and supports for adults with unmet literacy, numeracy and digital literacy needs. The Coalition has written a Literacy Action Plan to help them do this. The Regional Adult Literacy Coalition includes representatives from local libraries, family resource centers, the Health Service Executive (HSE), Monaghan Integrated Development, Cavan County Local Development, The Department of Social Protection and a learner representative.
