EU Project Experience

Some experience

Archways is a national organisation that deliver a number of evidence based programmes including the Incredible Years® Suite of Programmes, the Mentoring for Achievement Programme and Functional Family Therapy.

Archways delivers the Blue Skies Initiative, the Area Based Childhood (ABC) Programme in the Clondalkin area.

We are the lead partner in an INTERREG VA funded project – The Changing Lives Initiative. The Changing Lives Initiative was a cross border community-based project in County Louth, Colin / West Belfast and the Argyll & Bute region, working to create a better understanding about ADHD and provide an early intervention parent programme for families with children (3-7) experiencing behaviours consistent with ADHD.

The five partner organisations involved in The Changing Lives Initiative were Archways, Colin Neighbourhood Partnership, Dundalk Institute of Technology, The Genesis Programme (Louth Leader Partnership) and NHS Highland.

The Changing Lives Initiative was supported by the European Union’s INTERREG VA Programme, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB). Match-funding for the project was provided by the Department for Health in Northern Ireland, the Department of Health in Ireland, as well as by the five partner organisations involved in delivering the project.
