September 17, 2026October and November can be a challenging time for young people. As the evenings get darker and the year begins to wind down, some young people may be feeling uncertain about their future, struggling with confidence, looking for work, or considering their next steps in education, training or employment. The King’s Trust is here to help young people find their next steps by exploring new opportunities, building confidence, developing skills and accessing practical support to move forward with purpose. All our courses are free, and we reimburse travel costs for all our programmes. We can also support with childcare costs where needed. Whether a young person is looking for a fresh start before the end of the year or wants to build momentum for the future, our upcoming programmes can help them take that next positive step.

September 16, 2026Members of the South Armagh Locality Planning Group set aside some time at their recent meeting to help raise awareness of the Public Health Agency ‘Feeling Anxious?’ Mental Health Awareness Campaign, running from 10th September to 10th October 2026. As a local partnership, the South Armagh LPG knows how important it is to create spaces where people feel able to talk about their mental health, recognise when they might need support, and know where to turn for help. 💚 A huge thank you to our members for agreeing to pose for a photo to help us spread the word about this important campaign. Together, we can help start conversations, reduce stigma and remind people that support is available and no one has to face things alone. Find out more about the campaign and how you can help promote the Minding Your Head message in your organisation, workplace or community: https://www.mindingyourhead.info/campaigns/look-after-your-mental-health-campaign-2025 [...] Read more...

The Children and Young People’s Strategic Partnership (CYPSP) brings together a range of agencies, including voluntary and community sector organisations, that aim to improve the lives of children and young people in Northern Ireland.

In the past, despite best efforts, everyone who worked with children and young people provided services separately which only created problems for children and young people, and their families and wasted resources. The CYPSP aims to plan and provide services for children and young people more efficiently by making joint decisions about the services needed, and funding these services together.

Importantly, the CYPSP emphasizes a rights-based approach to its work. This means planning services that uphold children’s rights and encouraging children, young people and their parents to participate in the process.
