Write a commentThe newly opened Newry Youth Resource Centre at Carnbane in Newry was the location for Newry and Mourne Youth Council (SELB Youth Service) to launch the YAFTA youth awards for the Newry and Mourne area.
These awards were created by young people for other young people and all aspects of the programme are managed by the youth council. The YAFTAs (Youth and Future Talent Awards) are supported by the youth council’s partnership with Newry and Mourne District Council and their good relations officers.
Speaking at the event SELB Youth Service Area Youth Worker Maureen O’Gorman said “We are all very proud and excited to launch this programme. It not only raises the profile of our youth council but it puts the spotlight on the positive work young people are involved in across our district”.
Nomination forms are now available from both the youth service and the district council.
