Fund more homework clubs and after school supports in communities experiencing severe disadvantage
2
Fund projects and programmes that are actively re-engaging and re-training disadvantaged youth as an immediate priority

Invest in safe spaces in areas of social and economic disadvantage where youth workers and community leaders can directly support young people

I was 16 years of age. You know what that’s like for any young girl.
But I wasn’t any young girl – I was in a Care Home. They suggested I should try the Youth Project. I really wasn’t expecting anything – but from the minute I came in, they accepted me for who I am. I didn’t really think about it like this at the time – but I was looking for the real me.
The one that had been lost through my childhood and taken over by frustration, loneliness, sadness and bad choices. When I found that person again, everything clicked. I knew what was positive about me again. And as well, I knew what I needed to work on to rebuild my mental health, my self-worth, my skills and to make a difference in life.
And I really mean this; no way would it have happened without this Youth Project and the great workers and role models here.
If there is any other way you wish to support our cycle, please contact lucy@iyf.ie to learn more about how you can help.
Thank You. Your generosity will help to fund projects that transform lives.
