Headford Youth Group Has Started!
"We are delighted to announce that Headford Youth Group is officially up and running!"
We are delighted to announce that Headford Youth Group is officially up and running!
A group of young people aged 12–14 have now met on a number of occasions and are already forming lovely connections. They are enjoying each other’s company, getting to know one another, and exploring what they would like their youth group to become. It is wonderful to see these friendships developing and to watch the group begin to take shape.
The group meets for a social gathering every two weeks, providing young people with an opportunity to connect, have fun, share ideas, and help shape a group that reflects their interests and needs.
This project has been years in the making, and we would like to acknowledge and thank Aisling Keogh (HADA) and Mia Joyce Walsh (Solas FRC) for their commitment and dedication in bringing the idea this far. In more recent times, Elaine Watters (Solas FRC) has also played an important role in helping to bring the group to life.
We are very grateful to our small but committed team of volunteers who give their time and energy to support the group. Volunteers are at the heart of making community projects like this possible, and we would always welcome more people who would like to get involved and support the young people of Headford.
A special word of thanks also goes to GRETB Headford for providing the use of their building and helping us create a space where young people can come together, build friendships, and feel part of their community.
This is an exciting beginning for Headford Youth Group, and we look forward to seeing it grow and develop alongside the young people who are part of it.
