Limerick’s Southside Youth Space is now open for business!

This space is for all young people, paying particular attention to young people experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, social exclusion.

The aim of Southside Youth Space is to provide a location where young people can engage in a process of growth and development that will facilitate them in achieving their full potential. It aim's to support the quality and level of youth provision already in existence in Limerick’s Southside and across the City, creating a hub of youth activity for young people, volunteers and service providers.

The Partners
Southside Youth Space was made possible by a partnership between the three lead agencies, Limerick Youth Service, Limerick Regeneration Agencies and Young Persons Probation (YPP) and YPP funded agencies.
