TWO YOUTH organisations have been successful in receiving a share of
€100k funding from VHI and the Irish Youth Foundation (IYF).
Southill Hub, which works with community members to run youth clubs,
provide social activities and operate a community café, received
funding to deliver a physical fitness programme with an additional
focus on mental wellbeing for the community.
In addition, NiteLine, a student-run listening and information service
for third-level students, are expanding their service and opening a
branch in Limerick city.
Now in its third year, the VHI Health and Wellbeing Fund, supports
projects that aim to strengthen resilience in young people and help
them manage anxiety.
