Service Update at Level 5

As of midnight Wednesday 21st October, the entire country will be placed on Level 5 of the Plan for Living with COVID-19

What does this mean for Youth Work Ireland Meath?
We are still permitted to provide some very limited face to face work in small groups. This is in line with the schools and the Department of Children and Youth Affairs Guidelines for Youth Work.

 We will be offering a blended (face to face and online) service for the next 6 weeks during the Level 5 restrictions.

Youth Workers will be in touch with groups to make the necessary arrangements and with Young People to schedule any required One to One meetings.

Our Student Leap Card verification service will operate on a scaled back version, by appointment only on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Lightbulb Club

The Lightbulb Club wanted to do something for those who might be feeling a little lonely as Level 5 restrictions kicked in. So in their last in house group on Wednesday 21st, they decided to create postcards and avail of An Post's amazing offer and freepost them to residents of 2 nursing homes in the county, so residents know they are being thought about during this time.

Millbury Nursing Home Navan and St. Elizabeth's Athboy will be smiling at the wonderful creations.

Facebook Community Grant

We are delighted to be recipients of a Community Grant from Facebook's Clonee Data Centre.

This grant enabled us to reach out to vulnerable young people and supported them in their mental health as well as engaging with other young people in the service.

Meath Comhairle na nÓg AGM 2020

On Friday October 23rd, Meath Comhairle na nÓg held their annual AGM and like so much this year it was a virtual event. Despite Zoom fatigue we were overwhelmed by the turnout and participation of schools and their students. 

A huge thanks to all who made the day a success but especially to Cathaoirleach of Meath County Council David Gilroy, Renagh Hayden participation officer from DCYA, Minister Thomas Byrne and T.D. Darren O'Rourke and councillors who took part in the discussion.
