The Limerick Participation Group Mural project brought together 7 young people involved in YAP.The theme behind the project was to explore how the young people felt about YAP and what they get out of it i.e. "What YAP means to me".

The participation group in Limerick has started again and the group met for the first time this week. YAP Ireland staff took the group bowling as its first activity and as a group forming exercise.

On 23rd September 2014 YAP Ireland CLG in partnership with VOYPIC launched the Investing in Children membership award scheme. The membership scheme recognises and celebrates examples of imaginative and inclusive practice and gives organisations the opportunity to award services that can demonstrate a commitment to dialogue with young people that leads to change. The launch took place in YAP Ireland CLG’s Head Office. Key speakers at the launch included Tanya Ward, Chief Executive of Children’s Rights Alliance and Liam Cairns, Director of Investing in Children, UK.
