Connect 4 operates directly on the streets of West Tallaght, Killinarden, and Jobstown, reaching out to vulnerable youth in their home environments, seeing the challenges they face and providing essential support and assistance. Their primary objective is to aid those at risk, including those dealing with mental health issues, engaging in anti-social behaviour, and involved in drug use or drug-related crimes. They do this through a varied programme of activity that includes sport, and educational programming and most recently, collaborating with the SDCC arts office to build creative and cultural capacity in this area.
