The Health, Education, Learning, Project (H.E.L.P.)
This project was supported by Leargas, the European Commission, and the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth as part of the European Year of Youth 2022.
The aim of this project was to provide youths aged 12 to 17 from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds with fun, engaging and educative opportunities, free of charge, that would otherwise not be available to them. This project allowed youth to form and rebuild social connections and friendships post covid, prevent isolation, loneliness and improve their overall mental health. This project promoted equality of all youths aged 12-17.
Our project included a wide range of activities covering multiple topics, including Health and well-being, caring for our mental health, the importance of inclusion, equality and diversity, the importance of exercise to build confidence and self-esteem. Animal welfare and the therapeutic effect of service animals and animal companions.
Feel free to view all our activities as part of this project under "Events"
If you are aged 12-17 and wish to be involved in some of our upcoming and future projects, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
