St Malachy's Youth Centre is a safe and inclusive environment for young people aged 6-24 years of age to come and be themselves without fear of harm or judgement. We aim to build positive working relationships with all our users and help to identify informal educational programmes that will help to enhance knowledge and awareness around areas of
need that we have or have been identified by others and be the best that they can be. Through our conversations and work with users we help to instil a moral compass that helps users identify right from wrong and leads them to become positive active citizens within their communities and society as a whole.
