Youth Needs in Balrothery
Do you have teenagers that constantly complain of having nothing to do? Are you tired of not knowing if
your son or daughter is socialising safely? Would you be happier to know that there was somewhere
they could go to meet with their friends in a safe and supervised space. Foróige can assist in providing
such a place for young people aged 12 and over.
The Foróige club in Balrothery has run successfully for the past two years. It provides a place for
young people to socialise in a safe environment and get involved in fun activities. The club allows
young people get involved in organising their own activities and gives them the opportunity to
achieve for themselves. The club helps young people gain valuable skills and gives them the chance to
grow in confidence.
The club relies on adults from the community to volunteer their time to assist them in running
the club. Without help and support of adults the club cannot exist. Unfortunately, the club does not
have enough volunteers and therefore can no longer continue. We urgently need more adults from the
area that would be willing to give an hour of their time on a Wednesday evening to keep the club open.
The club is not only for young people, says Bryan Gavin, Youth Officer with Foróige. Adults can also gain
a lot from being involved. Not only are you helping the young people, it is also a great way for you to get
involved in your community, meet new people and give something back. Don’t wait for others to do it,
everyone has something to offer. If you are interested in finding out more, then come along to our
information meeting on Wednesday 1st April at 8pm in the Heritage Centre, Balrothery. Further
information is available by contacting Bryan at 086 8519639 or email bryan.gavin@foroige.ie

The club have issued an invitation to Balrothery National School to come to the lake on Friday the 6th of March for a field trip. Over 60 kids and teachers will be taking part. This will be at 1pm and we would like as many members that are available to come up and help us on the day.
