🌅 SUNSET SESSIONS & BACK TO SCHOOL! 🌅

Tonight’s team were out across Lurgan & Craigavon, catching this brilliant view along the way! 🙌

Great to chat with so many young people who were back at school this week. Surprisingly, plenty are actually looking forward to seeing what the year ahead has in store! 😄📚

Hopefully we’ll catch plenty of you again over the weekend.

Stay safe & enjoy your weekend! 💙

🌟Celebrating Our Young People | PYDP 2024–2026

A fantastic evening at the Ashburn Hotel, Lurgan, as we celebrated the achievements of the young people who have participated in DDYWP’s Personal Youth Development Programme (PYDP), funded by the International Fund for Ireland (IFI).

Over the past two years, PYDP has provided young people with opportunities to develop new skills, build confidence and resilience, take on new challenges and realise their potential.

A particular highlight of the evening was hearing directly from Eoin, one of our PYDP participants, who spoke about his own journey and the impact the programme has had on him.

We were delighted to be joined by Anne Carr, IFI Board Member, and the Lord Mayor of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon, Cllr Mary O’Dowd, and we were also grateful to receive a special video message from Junior Ministers Reilly and Bunting from The Executive Office.

The evening concluded with the presentation of certificates to our young people and an opportunity to recognise our brilliant PYDP team – Stephen, Grace and Noleen – for their commitment and dedication throughout the programme.

As PYDP 2024–2026 comes to an end, we are incredibly proud of what our young people have achieved and excited to see where they go next.

A huge thank you to the International Fund for Ireland for its investment in our young people and for making this programme possible.

👏 Most importantly, congratulations to every young person who has been part of the journey. Tonight was about you.

Our staff were out on detached tonight across the community, catching up with young people and checking in on how some of their first day back at school went 🎒📚

We also chatted about some of our upcoming programmes and opportunities, giving young people the chance to find out what's coming up and get involved 🙌

Later in the evening, we met up with our North Lurgan Senior Boys group and had some really positive conversations around school, plans for the year ahead, and what's coming up for the group.

It was great to see everyone, catch up with familiar faces, and hear what young people have planned for the months ahead! 🌟

🎒 SCHOOL’S NEARLY BACK… AND WE’RE HERE FOR YOU! 💙

A busy targeted detached session across North Lurgan this evening with lots of great engagements and conversations. 🙌

With school just around the corner, we’ve been chatting about returning, what that looks like and how everyone is feeling. We even met some new Year 8s heading to St Ronan’s College who are excited to start their new journey! 🎒📚

Transitions can be exciting but challenging too, and we’re here to support any young person who needs us — just reach out. 💬

For now, we’re getting some rest before another action-packed week! 😴 Enjoy your last few days before school returns.

See you all tomorrow! 👋😀

🧠 BOYS TARGETED PROGRAMME | MENTAL HEALTH & WELLBEING 💬

A brilliant session today with a group from our NL Inters, as part of our Boys Targeted Programme.

Today we focused on mental health and what it means to us. The lads had the opportunity to bring something that represents them, share a little about themselves and explore what we can do when things aren’t going so well.

A big part of the session was recognising when we might need to talk, who we can turn to and understanding that asking for support is a strength. 💪

We finished the day with some well-earned fun at Airtastic Ultimate Challenges! 🙌

This is only the beginning. The group have identified a number of issue-based topics they want support with, and we’re looking forward to nurturing the programme around what they tell us matters to them.

Youth work shaped by young people. 💙

⚽ ERA Football Tournament ⚽

A great day of football for our young people as DDYWP took part in the ERA Football Tournament, with two teams representing the project – Team 1 and Team 2.

👏 A brilliant effort from everyone involved, with Team 1 making it all the way to the final, where they were narrowly beaten by a strong ERA side.

We also had some fantastic individual achievements:

⚽ Rioghan – Top Goalscorer
🧤 Harry – Best Goalkeeper

A massive well done to both lads and to all our young people who represented DDYWP brilliantly throughout the tournament. 👏⚽

Thanks to ERA for organising and hosting a great tournament! 💙

💙 STAY STRONG — YOUR JOURNEY IS JUST BEGINNING 💙

Another great evening of detached youth work, with lots of conversations about the return to school and what the weeks ahead might bring. 🎒📚

Remember, we’re here for you. If you need a chat, some support or simply someone to listen, just message or call us. 💬❤️

A massive well done to everyone who received their GCSE results today! 👏🎉 Whatever those results say, remember there are many different paths to where you want to be. Sometimes the journey takes a little longer — keep going and believe in yourself. 🌟

“Courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.” — Nelson Mandela

Stay strong, keep moving forward, and never be afraid to ask for support. 💪💙

We’re back again tomorrow — see you then! 👋

Good luck to everyone receiving their GCSE results today! 💙📚

Whatever is written on that piece of paper, remember: your grades do not define who you are, your worth, or what your future can look like.

There are so many different routes and opportunities ahead — college, apprenticeships, training, employment, resits and plenty more. Sometimes the path you take looks different from the one you originally imagined, and that’s absolutely okay.

Be proud of how far you’ve come, take today one step at a time, and remember that this is just one part of your journey — not the whole story.

From everyone at DDYWP, we’re wishing you the very best of luck. You’ve got this! 💙🙌
