The Moyle CSP Action Plan is funded by NIO CSU, Moyle Council, PSNI and other partners and trusts. The summer activity programme aims to engage in a positive way with young people, build their skills base and self esteem and promote their creativity and energy. “Often we hear of young people being underestimated and misunderstood by the wider populations, however when their energy is channelled and they are supported to grow and develop it becomes clear that they have a major contribution to offer to community life and to the future of our communities” said Bridgeen Butler, Manager of the Moyle CSP.” We hope that by providing a range of activities that we are supporting the young people in the area to develop and grow, gaining a better ability to reach their full potential in adult life”.
