Barnsley goes to Belfast

Looks like a very busy weekend is kicking off. Group of young people from Barnsley off to Belfast to check out what the YMCA is doing there. This visit is a direct result of a group of young volunteers going on a Global Link visit earlier and the young person from Barnsley going home determind to take a group of young people from her YMCA on a similar visit, she raised £2000 to make this happen, Well done to Alex Taylor. They have set up their own blog to we will post their link here while they experience Ireland http://www.barnsleyymca.blogspot.co.uk/

Then under the YMCA Global LInk Programme;
Tomorrow sees nine people from the YMCA in Northumberland, Bolton, Norfolk and West London heading off to Ukraine on a Study visit to explore how the YMCA runs programmes in rural settings. This is funded through the European Youth in Action Programme and they will be joined by YMCA peers from Moldova, belarus and Ukraine.

So we are hopeing for lots af posts on the blog from across Europe during the next week.

Also the rumour that we might even get another post from one Mr Ian Cook who is working as a volunteer in France!
