Mission Statement
The mission of the Knocknaheeny Hollyhill Youth Project is to provide a forum for the community at large to meet and develop healthy food options and health promotion projects, provide training opportunities for members of the community and enable young people in the Knocknaheeny/Hollyhill and sourriounding area to reject crime and develop as responsible citizens within their own community. This will be achieved by facilitating the community with programmes in a safe and friendly building which offer them creative opportunities to overcome existing obstacles and to develop and express their full potential.
