Foróige, Link Point UBU
Youth groups from Foróige Link Point UBU in Knocknaheeny came through the summer, including young people with fears of water and heights.
Foróige’s Link Point UBU project in Knocknaheeny, Cork, brought several youth groups to Ballyhass over the summer of 2021, for the Aquapark, Zipline, Kayaking and Archery.
Some of the young people arrived with real fears of water and of heights. With patient encouragement from the instructors, they took part.
The welcome went beyond the activities, down to how staff greeted the groups in the car park.
As youth workers it can be difficult for us to take our young people out and for them to feel safe and included, but Ballyhass was ideal.
