Hope for Youth NI funds community projects that promote inclusivity, diversity, and skill-building for young people in Northern Ireland. Some of the challenges faced included staying relevant and clearly articulating its mission, which has weakened its ability to engage stakeholders and fundraise effectively. They heavily rely on a single revenue stream and lack local recognition in Northern Ireland. They also struggled with alignment among trustees, operational cohesion, and demonstrating its impact to scale efforts and attract diverse funding sources.
Many thanks for facilitating such a great discussion yesterday. You really focused on important key issues and I found your constructive challenge both stimulating and thought provoking.
