We're calling on Government to invest €10 million in young people and youth work

Hello John,

I hope you're keeping well.

I'm getting in touch to ask you to join our call on Government to support young people in Budget 2022 – by investing €10 million in young people and youth work.

** Why is this needed?
------------------------------------------------------------

Young people have been hard hit by the pandemic. In the last year, we have seen:
* A chronic rise in youth unemployment – 28% of young people are affected
* Serious impact on young people’s mental health
* Difficulty for young people in getting support from friends and networks
* A huge number of young people missing out on key life landmarks and experiences
* An interruption to education that has caused massive difficulties for many young people

Youth workers have been a lifeline to many young people during the lockdown, and the need for youth services is growing dramatically as young people seek to recover from the effects of the pandemic.

That’s why we’re calling on our Government to support young people in Budget 2022 - by investing €10 million in young people and youth work.


** Will you join this call and stand up for young people?
