Young People in Direct Provision In October 2020, following the report from the Advisory Group on Direct Provision, Youth Work Ireland set about surveying the work done by member youth services in these settings. In Meath we work with Young People in the Mosney Centre. This work has been impacted by the COVID 19 pandemic, but we continue to be a support to young people living there and advocate on their behalf with the advisory group. We are looking forward to engaging with the young people in Mosney again. To get a n idea of some of the projects that have been undertaken in Mosney, check out The Icons of Mosney book. | | |
