Report on Summer Projects 2009
Summer Projects are aimed at providing a supervised programme of recreational and educational activities for young people over a consecutive number of weeks in the summer period. Emphasis is placed on community involvement and the development of resources and groups within localities. A wide range of activities are encouraged such as arts & crafts, sports, educational trips, drama, films, games etc. The use of available community facilities (schools, community centres, halls, open spaces) is also encouraged.
South Dublin County Council assists Summer Projects in the County area by way of grant-aid, assistance in kind, organised activities and staff support. In 2009 it is estimated that approximately 6,250 young people in the Council’s administrative area will participate in projects.
County Dublin V.E.C has agreed to continue their financial support to Summer Projects for the year 2009. These grants will be complementary to the above resulting in co-ordination between the two authorities, ensuring there is added value from this approach.
Catholic Youth Care provides insurance cover for Summer Projects.
It should be noted that in some cases the necessary insurance cost will be deducted from the grant provided by South Dublin County Council and will be paid directly to Catholic Youth Care.
