Cavan-based charity has helped over 750 young people reach life-changing outcomes

A Cavan-based charity is celebrating after helping over 750 young people reach life-changing outcomes.

Since 2018, The Third Space has worked with teenagers in Northern Ireland and the border area to undertake a personalised self-development and training programme.

90 per cent of those who completed the programme left with OCN qualifications.

Transition year students from St Mogue's College Bawnboy and St Bricin's in Belturbet were among those to benefit from the work of the charity.

The Third Space was an EU PEACE funded programme organised by Extern.

Ken Keane, assistant manager of the Third Space said it was all about teaching them life skills through alternative methods.
