The Irish Cancer Society (IRC) is now accepting applications for their X-HALE Youth Awards grant scheme. The X-HALE Youth Awards focus is on working with young people to address the issue of smoking in their communities.
The Awards aim to empower young people to tackle issues around smoking by supporting the development of positive youth-led projects in their communities.
The deadline for applications is 5 January, 2012.
The IRC's approach is grounded in the belief that young people can take ownership of their own achievements.
The IRC hope that the X-HALE youth Awards will catch the imagination of young people in communities where smoking is an issue. Young people regularly use their talents in a youth work setting, including music, dance, theatre, drama, art, sport, and social research. The IRC know that young people, especially if they are given the chance, are imaginative, innovative and are able to make a difference.
