For today’s episode we are discussing Community Based Organisations, or CBOs. The Probation Service funds Community Based Organisations all around the country. They can provide a range of different services to adult and young offenders in local communities, including training and education, offending behaviour programmes, residential accommodation, and drug and alcohol treatment programmes.  Colm takes a trip out to Candle Community Trust. Based in Ballyfermot and established in 1978, Candle is deeply embedded in the community of Ballyfermot. Colm meets some clients at the Trust and also meets the staff who are truly passionate about the work they do.
