This year, the JC Foundation (https://jcfoundation.ie/) is raising funds for
the Canal Communities Regional Addiction Service (RCN 20200847)

*All the donations received from previous fundraising days as well as this year’s will cover the cost of employing a part-time Well-being Support Worker to work with young people who are struggling with mental health & substance use problems. This is a joint initiative involving the 3 youth projects in the Canal Communities area of Dublin: Bluebell Youth Project, Core Youth Project (Inchicore) and Rialto Youth Project.

With a background in mental health, youth, and community addiction work, the worker will engage one-to-one with each young person to help them identify the causes of their difficulties and develop better skills to cope with them. They will also run education & prevention courses with groups of young people, aiming to prevent and reduce harm due to mental health issues & substance use.

The organisations provide educational, recreational & social activities for young people, aiming to build up close supportive relationships which can help them to feel safe, valued and happy.
