Youth project opens in Banbridge

THE Every Night Project for Young People in the Banbridge District area is now open. ENP will be run by young people for young people!

The young people have stated that they hope to get as many young people involved in youth provision in the town to ensure that they all have the same opportunities as those that are already actively involved in the extensive youth work in the town.

The bright, spacious, comfortable and colourful décor has been designed and organised by the group of young people responsible for the new centre. The centre will attract young people as it will be a safe space where young people can come to relax, volunteer, get involved in projects that will open many doors for them, in terms of their personal and social development.
