Calling young people and schools, parents and services working with young people to take part in this survey on having a dedicated youth centre for Galway City!

We are looking to hear from young people, parents, schools and organisations working with young people in Galway on your views for a dedicated youth centre for Galway City. This survey was designed by young people who are members of Youth Work Ireland Galway's subgroup of our Board of Directors, Youth Centre Committee.

Galway City has been without a dedicated youth centre since the 'GAF' in Francis Street, Galway closed in 2009. The GAF was a place for young people to meet and socialise, supported by youth organisations and statutory organisations. Young people had access to a recreational space, band rehearsal spaces, support and advice, and a safe space to hang out with friends.

We believe young people in Galway deserve to have a space like this again, young people have expressed the need for a space to socialise. They acknowledge that there are services in Galway, but would welcome having them all under one roof.

Please take 10 minutes to complete the survey, for young people participating, they are in with the chance to be randomly selected for a €100 One 4 All Voucher!

We bumped into Mayor of Galway, Cllr. Helen Ogbu after our first Comhairle meeting back last night in City Hall! We had a great discussion and are really excited to work together.

How wonderful to link in with her and we are looking forward to collaborating on our topic: the effects of racism and discrimination on young people's mental health!
