Why do we need funding to help contribute to this?
Public Funding has been severely cut in recent years, forcing many youth centres and employment services to close. Young people are in need of help otherwise they will face a life of unemployment or at worse a life of crime. Our services push them through to a life of employment and inclusion. But we need financial assistance in sustaining this.
