Funding for youth service

BALBRIGGAN Youth Service is to receive €15,000 in funding.  

Minister for Children and Youth Affairs Dr James Reilly recently announced the allocation of capital grants to 121 youth projects and organisations throughout the country for small to medium scale equipment and upgrade projects. 

The aim of this capital funding scheme is to provide much needed assistance to youth projects to improve the facilities and equipment available for their work with young people in their communities. 

Minister Reilly said: “I am very pleased to be in a position to announce the allocation of these grants to the 121 successful applicants. 

“These youth services do vital work in some of the more disadvantaged communities in our society.” 

Minister Reilly added: “I am confident this grant will assist in improving the quality of the services and their facilities to the benefit of young people involved.”
