The local young people face enormous pressure from paramilitary groups and it is widely recognised by political and community organisations in the area that under-age drinking and drug misuse is also a significant problem, contributing in large part to crime and vandalism. Our vision is to offer these ‘at risk’ young people, especially teenagers who are struggling to find their way in life, the chance to be accepted for who they are and spend time in a safe place, while learning new skills that will bring about self-confidence and hope for the future.
