Challenge For Youth Belfast

The Youth Safety Network is a consortium involving Challenge for Youth, Northern Ireland Alternatives and The Terry Enright Foundation.  The Network seeks to promote the safety and well being of young people, their families and their communities through a process of engagement, participation and service delivery. 

The Youth Safety Network has three key strands – the participation and empowerment of young people; education and service delivery; and, family and community support.  The overall emphasis of the Partnership is to deliver practical youth led responses to locally identified need.

The project is piloting in 4 communities: two in Belfast – Shankill Road and the New Lodge and two outside of Belfast in the Kilcooley Estate in Bangor and in Coalisland, Co.Tyrone and will subsequently roll out throughout Northern Ireland.

The Youth Safety Network is funded by the Big Lottery Safe and Well Programme
