We had a very productive meeting at Stormont this morning as part of the All-Party Group on the Voluntary and Community Sector. Alongside representatives from various voluntary sector groups focused on educational outcomes, we met with Education Minister Paul Givan. Collectively we highlighted the essential contributions our sector makes in delivering impactful educational initiatives across Northern Ireland. Key issues discussed included: * Supporting and valuing volunteers * The positive impact of community-based programmes * Support for accessible childcare * Recognising successful projects * Finance and recruitment challenges We welcome the Minister’s commitment to working together for the benefit of all young people. #VoiceOfTheSector #AllPartyGroup #YouthWork The Bytes Project Volunteer Now The Northern Ireland Boys' Brigade (BBNI) LARNE YMCA WOMEN'STEC YouthAction Northern Ireland Early Years - the organisation for young children
