Health and Wellbeing
All children and young people need the time and space to learn those core life skills, such as resilience, social skills and self-esteem, which ensure positive mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.
Yet too many children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds are experiencing physical and mental health problems, with depression, self-harm and suicide attempts far too prevalent.
We know that good mental and emotional health are essential in order to thrive. We’re focused on supporting those programmes that help children and young people build resilience and make better life choices.

How you can help
Our aim is to reach 45,000 children and young people who are living in disadvantaged circumstances across Ireland.
To do this, we need to support a wide range of youth projects as well those incredible youth workers who work tirelessly, and often voluntarily, to ensure children and young people have a future to look forward to.
But we can’t do it without you.
Whether you are a business or an individual you can help.
