May’s Pride At Work Coffee Club is hosted by Technology Ireland.

Join us on May 19th when our host Alex Campbell (they/them) will be joined by Siobhán Cafferty (she/her) of Simplified.ie

Siobhán Cafferty spent 20+ years, at the practitioner level, supporting marginalised communities to seek and find opportunities that could change their future forever. Having seen the many challenges, gaps and blocks experienced by people most in need, the case-by-case solutions didn’t cut it. They were labour intensive, frustrating for both staff but particularly for the individual’s experiencing the issue and often led to short term solutions only for the process to start all over again for the next client or service user.

Siobhán felt more needed to be done to work on long term solutions so decided to move into strategy and policy development influencing Government Departments to do better, to move beyond the siloed vision and operations and to think differently, particularly in the social enterprise and social innovation sectors. Siobhán was recognised on the Euclid Network’s Top 100 Women in Social Enterprise list for 2022 for her significant work in social innovation and employment for marginalised groups in Ireland.

Simplified is a result of many years of seeing, doing and believing that when we come together, we create real, tangible and sustainable solutions while also keeping it simple.
