About Us

Le Chéile was established in 2005 to provide a Mentoring service to children and young people aged 12-18 years engaged in Young Persons Probation. It was set up to meet the needs of the Mentor (Family support) Order under the requirements of the Children Act 2001.

Le Chéile has since expanded to encompass a Parent Mentoring service for parents of young people who are involved with YPP. Le Chéile also supports families by funding and running the Strengthening Families Programme on behalf of the Probation Service.

Le Chéile has launched a Restorative Justice project in Limerick, funded by the Limerick Regeneration Project and Young Person’s Probation.

Le Chéile is a child-centred, non-judgemental service which recruits and trains volunteers from local communities to work with young people and families.

Le Chéile is Irish for “together” – we believe people can achieve more when they work together.

Le Chéile is funded by the Probation Service.
