INVITIATION : PLACE2BEE had a Youth Cafe Volunteers Open Evening on THURSDAY 23rd June at 8pm at the Youth Café.   See attached Newsletter for details.    

  This was a great success and the 1st training class with Foroige takes place this Thursday evening at the Café from 7pm to 9pm.  We hope everyone who attended the opening evening can now attend for training this Thursday, but not only that anyone else who is interested can come along and start that evening.  Out goal is to have 30 volunteers in training.  With that kind of effort we can maximize the chance of success not just for the Youth Café but also for PLACE4U itself.   So come on and help us to make it work not just for Clonmel but for the whole South Tipperary community.   We need your support.

 Events will be published on the Events section so please browse this site.  We would also like you to follow us on Facebook at :   PLACE4U on facebook.  Join our Group and help us out !  …. 

PLACE4U is an exciting new Charitable Trust Project, based in South Tipperary/West Waterford which commenced in spring 2008. PLACE4U will offer access to offices, meeting rooms and other essential support facilities and services, that are commonly needed by voluntary service groups, but frequently take up too much of their valuable resources.As the project evolves, the range of services and supports will expand to include secretarial support, payroll, management, administration & IT resources as may be required by different groups to support and develop their activities.  Mutual support, training and development, in all spheres necessary to found, develop or manage your Group will be offered by the project.
