Northside Youth & Family Support Project

The project works to support young people and their families aged 10-18years who are in need of additional supports in their lives. We offer needs driven services that work to enhance the personal and social development of the young people that engage with the project.

We do this through regular weekly programmes, designed to support positive physical and mental wellbeing amongst young people and their families.
