HISTORY 1918 -91 Belvedere Youth Club originated when Belvedere Social Services assumed responsibility for two existing inner city Youth Clubs in 1918. Two of its founding members were Doctor William Lombard Murphy and Mr. Victor Plunkett. From this beginning it has grown into one of the largest Youth Clubs in the State. Known as the Belvedere Newsboys Club until 1969, the Club ran a variety of Educational and Recreational Programmes, including Sports, Summer Camps, Literacy and Remedial Education, from a number of locations in the inner city. In 1972 the Club engaged its first full-time Director and admitted girls as members. Its name was changed to Belvedere Youth Club. Throughout its History Belvedere College through the past pupils union has supported and developed the club to make it what it is today. The Chairperson is directly appointed by the College union for a term of up to three years and it is he who is responsible for ensuring that we have sufficient funds to provide the services to the young people that we work with. 1991 - After several changes in location within the North Inner City, fundraising initiatives enabled the Club to raise the £650,000 necessary to move to permanent, custom-built premises in Buckingham Street. Facilities include, a Sports Hall, Gymnasium, Training Kitchen, Computer Training Facilities, Theatre facilities, ceramics and pottery, Recreational areas, Changing Rooms, and Showers. Belvedere Youth Club currently has to raise up to €200,000 per year by voluntary means and employs three full time staff directly. We sponsor a FAS Community employment project, which also allows us to employ up to 17 part-time workers. We currently have a membership of over 400 local children and young people from the ages of 7 to 20 years of age making us one of the largest facilities of its type in the country. The North Inner City is one of the most deprived areas in the country. There is a multiplexity of social problems such as high criminal involvement of all age groups, drug and substance abuse are among the highest in the country, low Educational achievement is accepted as normal for many families, and it has an extremely high percentage of single parent households. The incidence of H.I.V and Aids is also way above the National average. The youth club is one of the most popular projects in the Inner City for children and in some families it is almost a rite of passage that they join the club that their parents attended when they were children. I myself joined the youth club when I was 13 years old having followed my two older brothers in and indeed my Father when he was a newspaper seller on the streets of Dublin over half a Century ago. It is this long tradition and History that makes the Belvedere youth club special and to this day past members (old boys) still return to the club for an annual retreat where they recall their childhoods spent in the youth club from Decades past.

Alopecia UK provides information, advice and support to children and adults with alopecia, a hair loss condition that can result in complete loss of head hair, eye-lashes, eyebrows and all other body hair. It is an extremely challenging condition and the dramatic appearance change often results in psychological trauma, and lost confidence. There is reduced control of body temperature, dirt and perspiration get into unprotected eyes, absence of eye lashes allows eye lids to turn in, and unprotected skin burns readily in even moderate sunshine. There is no known cure and no treatment guaranteed to induce hair re-growth and sustain remission. The course of the condition is unpredictable and often recurrent. Alopecia UK is there to help.

The Clare Crusaders Children's Clinic provides free therapy and specialist treatment to over 350 children with special needs in County Clare. We are a self financing service located in Barefield, Ennis. The Clinic receives no state funding and must raise over €250,000 per annum to provide the current level of therapy for children. To date we have raised over €2 million to deliver over 10,000 hours annually of therapy for children. The Clinic opened in 2007 thanks to the dedication and hard work of a group of parents to overcome the lack of publicly available treatment for children with autism and cerebral palsy. It was a community response to the lack of access to services that children with disabilities need in order to meet their potential. We started with one therapist and now we employ 4 full time and 4 part time therapists delivering approximately 200 hours of therapy per week, catering for over 40% of children in County Clare with special needs. The Clinic is managed on a voluntary basis and we do not charge for access to the therapists to ensure that anyone can access our supports.
