How We Have Empowered Young People: Stories from Engage Grant Holders
National Children's Bureau
The Big Lottery Fund’s Reaching Out: Empowering Young People programme has supported grant holders working with young people most at risk across Northern Ireland. For the programme, the Big Lottery Fund identified 'at risk' young people as those who are:
- in care, leaving care or who have been in care
- engaging, or at risk of engaging, in criminal activity
- disengaged from education
This event will be an opportunity for Engage grant holders to showcase the work of their Big Lottery Funded projects and the impact of that work in empowering young people. The event will include a number of presentations from Engage grant holders and an exhibition space where the grant holders will be able to showcase their achievements.
This event is intended for adults who work with children and young people, those who fund children's services and policy makers.
To attend the event as an audience member, please book via the Eventbrite link below before 9th May 2018:
Please note that the event will run from 10am until 1pm with lunch provided and, while the event is free, booking is essential for catering and organisation purposes.

National Energy Action (NEA) NIOnline / VirtualSeminarTraining/AdviceWorkshopThe UK government set out a target, enshrined in the Climate Change Act (2008), to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across the whole of the UK by 2050. Decarbonising homes is central to achieving that target and there is an urgent need to address the carbon emissions produced in heating and powering domestic properties. While the electricity powering lighting and appliances is decarbonising fast, the majority of homes still rely on burning fossil fuels for heating, hot water and cooking. This course will provide an introduction to the role domestic scale renewable technologies can play in reducing carbon emissions. It will provide a non-technical explanation of how the technologies work, the factors to consider when installing these technologies, costings, potential carbon savings and their advantages and drawbacks.- - -NEA - NEW COURSE - Introduction to Domestic Renewable Low Carbon Technologies (Level 2 Award – CQ11641/001)
