On October 16th 2025, as part of the National PPI Festival and with funding support from the PPI Ignite Network, the SCOPE Team hosted an event, led by Moira Duffy, to celebrate their dedicated PPI group of mothers. The SCOPE PPI group is comprised of mothers of infants <1 year old who meaningfully contributed to the SCOPE Project throughout 2025.

The ‘Lunch and Learn’ event, held at the Glucksman Art Gallery on UCC Campus, provided an opportunity to both thank the mothers for their invaluable input and gather their reflections on their experiences as PPI contributors.

We are delighted to share the reflections of our PPI group in the video below, and would once again like to thank the mothers for generously sharing their time and expertise with the SCOPE Project.

Don’t have time to watch the full 5-minute video, here’s a 90-second version instead!
