Only the published dates are confirmed for this programme.
Women in Leadership is an eight week programme for women in Cherry Orchard, run by Liffey Partnership with Women’s Collective Liffey Valley at St Ultan’s School. It suits women who want to build confidence, develop leadership skills, and connect with other women locally, whether or not they are currently in paid work or study.
The programme runs across eight consecutive Wednesday mornings, from 2 September to 21 October 2026, in a group format rather than one to one mentoring. It is delivered in partnership with Women’s Collective Liffey Valley, a local women’s group, which grounds the sessions in the realities of life in Cherry Orchard rather than generic corporate leadership training. Expect a mix of group discussion, confidence building exercises, and peer support, aimed at helping participants recognise and use skills they already have as much as teaching new ones. The school setting keeps the programme rooted in the local community rather than an outside training venue.
Running the programme inside a local primary school rather than a business training centre also matters for who feels able to walk in the door. For women balancing childcare, part time work or caring responsibilities, a familiar building in Cherry Orchard itself is a far smaller ask than travelling into the city centre for a corporate style course, and the Women’s Collective Liffey Valley partnership means facilitators are drawing on their own experience of the area rather than a generic training pack.
St Ultan’s School is on Cherry Orchard Avenue, served by Dublin Bus routes running through Cherry Orchard and connecting to Ballyfermot and Le Fanu Park. There is parking in the surrounding residential streets for anyone driving.
Liffey Partnership runs a small rolling programme of free health and personal development courses across Ballyfermot and Cherry Orchard through the autumn term, of which this is one. There is more to explore across Co. Dublin while attending the programme in Cherry Orchard.
