Youth Council NI funding consultation

Youth Council for Northern Ireland Small Logo

The Youth Council for Northern Ireland initiated a funding review in order to establish a more equitable and effective funding process to meet the needs of the sector. The Council has now drawn up a set of recommendations on which it is seeking comments.

The Youth Council for NI commissioned a Review of Funding in 2006, which was carried out by Williamson Consulting during last Summer and Autumn.

YCNI has now drawn up a series of recommendations for the future based on the findings in the review. Williamson Consulting has been commissioned to undertake further consultation in relation to these recommendations to ensure that all stakeholder views are understood.

To this end, a series of consultation sessions have been organised for representatives from Regional Voluntary Youth Organisations:

  • 2.00 pm - Wednesday 20 June, Gortalowry House, 94 Church Street, Cookstown, BT80 8HX
  • 2.00 pm - Thursday 21 June, NICVA, Duncairn Gardens, Belfast, BT15 2GB
  • 7.00 pm - Tuesday 26 June, NICVA, Duncairn Gardens, Belfast, BT15 2GB
  • 2.00 pm - Wednesday 27 June, NICVA, Duncairn Gardens, Belfast BT15 2GB (the specific issues facing uniformed or faith based organisations will be addressed at this session)

Consultation sessions will be facilitated by Williamson Consulting and coffee/tea will be provided.

A summary of the review along with YCNI's recommendations and information on the consultation process can be obtained from gillian@williamsonconsulting.co.uk.

A full copy of the review and the executive summary are available on the YCNI website, under the "funding" section, "funding policy" page. We would be delighted if you could join us for one or more of the consultation sessions where you will have an opportunity to comment on the implementation of funding changes.
