This article appeared in the Evening Echo - 19/04/10 - by Padraig Hoare THE people of Fermoy can make a difference. That was the message of gardai and local drug awareness workers in the town this week, as they launched a new leaflet highlighting what people can do to help their town fight the scourge of drugs. More than 2,000 local teens have been surveyed anonymously by the Fermoy Community Drugs Initiative on their drug and alcohol use, and the results will be published at an open evening in its new Pike Road premises next Thursday at 7.30pm. The idea behind the event is to highlight local support services that are available in the town and the services trying to combat drug use in society nationall, including drugs and alcohol workers, mental health service, Health Service Executive services and local GPs, sports clubs and activities available for young people. The survey was conducted in all the three secondary schools in Fermoy. It focused on the pressures of peer groups, the causes of drug use, the implications of various other pressures and the mental health of our young people. |

Fermoy drugs initiative makes a big impact
This Article in The Avondhu Newspaper 07/05/09 Cloyne Diocesan Youth Services Ltd has had a project operating in Fermoy since 1996.
Fermoy Community Youth Project funded by the Department of Education and Science aims to facilitate the personal social development of participants to realise their potential. Most activities are run after school through group work or on a one to one basis.
In August 2007 CDYS welcomed the addition of FREE – Fermoy Community Drugs Initiative. Claire O' Mahony, Project Leader and Martina Munnelly, FREE Drugs Outreach Worker, are currently based at Fermoy Resource Centre. 2009 has been a busy year so far for FCYP. Claire, the project worker sits on a local volunteer committee that are interested is seeing a Youth Cafe being established in Fermoy. The committee applied for consideration, to Cork County Council, for the old fire station as a possible location. The committee also had consultations with Fermoy Community Youth Centre who could unfortunately not facilitate the caf£ at present but wish the project and the committee all the best on their future ventures. The project welcome any new young people that would be interested in becoming part of the committee as our current members will be sitting for their Leaving Certificate exams in June. If you are interested please contact Claire for more information, The animated movie 'Fermoy Drift' that our girls group had produced in 2008, with thanks to funding from Irish Youth Foundation was entered into the Fresh Film Festival. FCYP was one of 28 groups to receive a grant from the leading fundraising charity dedicated to providing positive opportunities for young people all over Ireland. Bill Cullen IYF president said, 'We are delighted on this occasion to be able to give a grant of EUR3,000 to Fermoy Community Youth Project. We are confident that this grant will be used to achieve positive outcomes for its participants." |
