✨ Celebrating 20 Years of Natalie! ✨

In September, we celebrated 20 years of service from Natalie! 🎉

Since September 2006, Natalie has worked with thousands of young people, helping to ensure they have the support, opportunities and encouragement they need to succeed in life.

Through her strong leadership, hard work, determination, care and compassion for young people, Natalie has played a huge part in helping Rosario Youth Centre grow and strengthen over the years.

I’m sure many people would agree that Natalie works tirelessly to help shape Rosario Youth Centre into the open, safe and welcoming youth centre that it is today. ❤️

We want to say a huge THANK YOU, Natalie, for 20 years of dedication, commitment and service to our young people and our community.

Here’s to many more years! 🥂🎉

Thank you for everything, Natalie! 💜

Last night, the Youth Work Alliance, facilitated a consultation workshop at Rosario for young people involved in youth provision across South Belfast to capture views on the proposed ‘Stronger Futures’ policy. Well done to the young people who participated, shared their thoughts and provided thought provoking vital feedback.

30/09/2026

The coordination of our ‘Stronger Futures’ consultations is well underway, with Youth Work Alliance field officer, delivering a consultation event tonight at Rosario YC ! 🙌

Open communication is at the heart of tonight's great discussions, with young people actively voicing their views on how youth work should be shaped by this new policy.

Ensuring authentic representation for our young people is central to this process, as this policy will ultimately shape the vital services they access in the future.

The next event will be tomorrow night in New Lodge YC - 6.30pm to 8pm, please contact, Sean via email ([email protected]) to secure your spot, this is open to all youth providers across the statutory and voluntary sector.

AFTERNOON AND HOMEWORK SUPPORT SESSIONS!

Starting next week (Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th September), 3 PM - 5 PM.

Last year, these sessions were only available to P5-P7; however, this year we have changed that, and they are now open to our whole membership, P5 - Year 14.

This is a space for young people to decompress after school, be with friends, learn new things, chat with youth workers about any issues they may be facing and complete and gain support with their homework if they want.

We know that young people in secondary school may not finish until 3:30pm, but that is okay; they can come straight after school.

Cost: £1 (per session)

No need to sign up; once you are a registered member of Rosario YC, you can participate; details of which can be found in our previous post.
