Developing Funding Applications for Youth Arts Projects
Join the National Youth Arts Programme team for a 3-hour, online training event to explore practical advice and approaches to developing strong funding applications for youth […]
I have been involved with the voluntary and youth services sector for many years, first as a participant coming up through my local youth services, then as a volunteer and finally I took on a finance position over 25 years ago with Catholic Youth Care. Over the last 25 years I have seen much change and gained much experience within the sector.
I am a qualified member of Certified Public Accountants of Ireland. I am the Head of Finance of Youth Work Ireland National Office. Youth Work Ireland is part of a Federation with 20 Member Youth Services, that I have the pleasure of working alongside. Being part of a Federation, I also engage in looking at nationwide issues around financial, compliance and governance that may arise alongside my National Office & Federation colleagues. Given my current role, along with my years of financial experience within the Youth Sector, I believe I have the necessary skills to bring to the role of Treasurer of NYCI.
Youth work has played a significant role in my life, and its importance cannot be overstated. I consider myself lucky to be part of such a sector.
