We're back on tracks! After a crazy summer, things tend to normalize now. The activities that Rothar wants to become permanent are worked upon. We had several successes so far and things are evolving fast.- The workshop with the lads in The Base has proven to be successful. We will be training the youth workers so that the activity can become a permanent component of the youth group's activities. This includes opening a workshop with tools so that the kids involved and the community can come and repair their bike when they need it, under supervision of the newly trained youth workers. Rothar remains a reference and will be providing the bikes and technical advice as well as further training when necessary.
- We started working with another youth group with Rathmines Community Partnership. The goal is the same. We are working hard but it is worth it.
- We are looking for premises now. We would like to share the rent with other organisations and we are looking for a suitable place. The good news is that rents have decreased in Dublin but they are still too high for such a small organisation such as ours. But we keep our fingers crossed.
- The bike riding lessons should be taking place at the end of this year or beginning of next. The trainings provided by Bike Scotland are three times a year. We keep you posted on this
As you can see, things are going well. We are growing slowly but surely.
