On Friday 21st October in Dublin, I attended a morning event which was all of the following at the one time: disturbing, enlightening, uplifting and ultimately positive, yet challenging. The title of the event hosted by YAP Ireland CLG was, ‘Children who Challenge Us Most’.
Two young people and their advocates took part in the Ocean to City Race again this year in Cork on Saturday 4th June 2016.
A big thank you to everyone who attended the YAP Comedy Night, which took place at the Laughter Lounge, Eden Quay, Dublin on 19th May 2016. A great night was had by all and there was plenty of fun and laughs. Thank you to also to those who sold tickets and those who contributed to
Congratulations to the Young People, Families and Staff of YAP Ireland CLG on another hugely successful event. Over 250 people gathered in Croke Park to see the result of all the work done throughout the last year. There were videos and presentations from Young People and Parent participation groups throughout Ireland.
Thanks a million to Gill Stedman and crew from RTE's News2Day who came to speak to the Young People of YAP Ireland today.
Thank you to everyone who took the time out to shake a Bucket in the Pavilions Shopping Centre in Swords on Friday 1st July.

Yap Ireland would like to extend a huge thank you to our colleagues from YAP Inc. who spent a few days with us implementing training to our staff, young people and stakeholders on the methodology of the street soccer movement.
Thank you to all those who took part in the 2016 VHI Women's Mini-Marathon!
In August 2015 we asked Young People to design plaques for the doors of the new offices in Dublin. Four young people submitted artwork (see images below) which are now on display in the new office. A big thank you goes out to Dwayne, Emma, Kirsty and all the other young people who took part. We still have a lot of wall space that we are looking for young people from around the country to cover so please keep the artwork and photographs coming.
