Adult Literacy for Life in Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim

Adult Literacy for Life is a whole-of-society strategy. It aims to ensure that everyone has the literacy, numeracy and digital literacy to participate in society and succeed in life. Read the Adult Literacy for Life strategy.

Hello, my name is Roisin Egan

The Adult Literacy for Life (ALL) strategy is about creating a strong local platform here in Mayo, Sligo, and Leitrim so that partners can come together to address the real literacy needs in our communities.

This is a chance for all of our community groups, services, and organisations to identify the gaps and work together to make positive changes that help adults fully take part in society.

The difference that literacy support can make in people’s lives is powerful and inspiring to see. I would like to encourage all community partners to connect with the ALL team and to play an active role in supporting this national strategy locally. I know that together we can open more doors and create better opportunities for adults across Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim.

Meet your Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim Literacy Coalition

In Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim we set up a Regional Adult Literacy Coalition to implement the Adult Literacy for Life strategy. It has representatives from lots of organisations that want to work together to improve services and supports for adults with unmet literacy, numeracy and digital literacy needs. The Coalition has written a Literacy Action Plan for Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim to help them do this.
