Bunclody Area Youth Supports

Bunclody Area Youth Supports also known as BAYS is a FDYS Youth Service funded by UBU Your Place Your Space Funding scheme. UBU offers young people a place and space in their local community.

Our vision is for all young people to be enabled to realise their maximum potential, by respecting their rights and hearing their voices, while protecting and supporting them as they transition from childhood to adulthood.

Young people are supported by qualified and experienced Youth Workers who work alongside young people to enable them reach their full potential.

Our mission is to provide out-of-school supports to young people in Bunclody and surrounding areas to enable them to overcome adverse circumstances and achieve their full potential by improving their personal and social development skills.
