The Wheel Podcast - Episode 1
Today, on International Day of Charity, we're very pleased to launch The Wheel’s new podcast with a very special opening episode, "Budget 2026: Charting a New Course"
In this first episode, we get to the heart of what's needed to tackle Ireland's most pressing issues—from the housing crisis to the struggle against poverty and the future of our communities.
Tune in to hear from leading experts,
- Susanne Rogers, Research and Policy Analyst with Social Justice Ireland
- Ber Grogan, Executive Director of Simon Communities of Ireland
- Fleachta Phelan, Policy Advocacy Manager at Disability Federation of Ireland
Along with our own Advocacy & Campaigns Manager, Guillaume Jacquinot, Susanne, Ber, and Fleachta share their insights on how the State can support our sector in Budget 2026, what should be avoided, and the course of action the new government should take over the next 5 years to allow the community and voluntary sector in Ireland to thrive and continue to show up for those who need us most.
Discover what's needed to enable our sector to truly address the challenges faced by vulnerable communities across Ireland, in a conversation you will not want to miss.
