NALA is commissioning a review of the 2013-2014 Write OnMomentum project under the Labour Market Education & Training Fund (LMETF).  This project was supported by SOLAS, the Department of Education and Skills and the European Social Fund through the Momentum programme and the LMETF, and carried out in conjunction with Southside Partnership Local Employment Service.
