The young people in the Limerick Youth Service LCA Class who are studying Leaving Cert Applied at LYS’ Community Training Centre, Limerick, held the coffee morning as part of a communications and vocational preparation module.

“As part of the module the students had to create a mini-company/enterprise,” explained LYS’ Claire King, “The young people decided to create a mini catering company, hold a coffee morning and donate the proceeds to Milford Care Centre, a task they successfully achieved,” said Claire, a teacher with LYS.

The young people had a busy few mornings as they cooked some delicious treats for the coffee morning, which included a special Brazilian marshmallow cake kindly made by the mother of one the students who is from Brazil.

Claire thanked the Limerick public for their support and reserved a special word of praise for the Limerick Youth Service LCA Class students who went “above and beyond” in completing their task.

The LCA is one of a number of education and training courses and programmes for young people (16-21yrs) that is delivered at LYS’ Community Training Centre, Lr. Glentworth St, Limerick and other youth spaces.

This provision is supported by Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board and co-funded by the Irish Government and the European Social Fund as part of the ESF Programme for Employability, Inclusion and Learning 2014 – 2020.

A member of Youth Work Ireland, Limerick Youth Service remains committed to connecting with young people and supporting them to reach their full potential.
