We Can Quit is a free 10 week group programme for anyone in Ballyfermot ready to stop smoking, run by Liffey Partnership at Ballyfermot Family Resource Centre. It suits smokers who have tried to quit before and want structured support and company rather than going it alone, and it is aimed particularly at communities where smoking rates run higher than average.
The group meets every Tuesday morning for ten weeks, from 1 September to 3 November 2026. Sessions are led by facilitators who are themselves ex-smokers, and cover the practical and behavioural side of quitting, from identifying personal triggers to handling cravings and setbacks. Participants receive complimentary nicotine replacement therapy, either patches or gum, for the duration of the course at no cost. Liffey Partnership, which delivers the programme, describes the value of the group format as much about the moral support of quitting alongside other people as the information itself, so the tone is peer led rather than a lecture.
No prior attempt at quitting is required to join, and the group format is deliberately built around company rather than willpower alone, since smoking cessation services generally find that people who quit alongside others are more likely to stay quit than people trying alone. The course is delivered locally rather than at a hospital or GP clinic, which lowers the barrier for anyone who might otherwise put off asking for help.
Ballyfermot Family Resource Centre is on Lynch’s Lane, close to the Con Colbert Road side of Ballyfermot, and is reachable on Dublin Bus routes serving Ballyfermot and neighbouring Chapelizod. Limited parking is available near the centre for anyone driving.
