Parent Peer Support Fund 2026/2027

Parent peer support is when parents support each other by sharing knowledge. This can help to reduce feelings of isolation and provides encouragement to navigate challenges and achieve well-being.

The 2026/2027 Parent Peer Support Fund is now open for applications. Grants of up to €5,000 can be provided to organisations working with parents and/or carers to support them to develop parent peer support initiatives.

This includes peer support for parents who share similar life experiences, such as raising a child with complex needs or a mental health condition.

The closing date for applications is Monday 2 November 2026.

The Fund Guidelines, Terms and Conditions, and application forms can be found below.
