Residential Weekends are Back

Our Residential Weekend will be starting back up now in September, for the 2025/26 school year.

We provide two residential weekends a month during the school academic year in counties Donegal and Cavan.

Places are offered to six young people, plus an emergency bed when required, to the young people referred into our service through Tusla social work teams. In addition, places can be offered to individual young people who are referred into our service through the PPFS Meitheal, and also UBU (You be you). This is an initiative funded by the DYCA (Department of Children & Youth Affairs).

The goal of these activity based residential weekends is to provide young people with a chance to improve their self-esteem and confidence by participating in a range of outdoor and indoor pursuits, such as go-karting, dune buggies, hovercrafts, archery, and swimming.

This allows them to challenge themselves while making new friends away from their own community environment.

The residential weekends also provide valuable respite to parents/foster parents/guardians.
