Community development

ENGAGE, CHALLENGE AND INSPIRE YOUNG PEOPLE! With a vast range of unique activities and team building options available for school and youth groups, our main aim is to engage and challenge young people in a bid to develop their social, physical and personal skills and encourage positive development at all levels. We can specifically cater to any needs or requirements and make sure each and every young person enjoys their time here, away from the many distractions and at times overwhelming pressures of modern life.

Join us at this session where we will be joined by Noeleen Lynch, Director for Northern Ireland, Community Transport Association. We will be hearing more about some barriers and difficulties facing this role, given the recent cost of living crisis.
