Last week, we hosted a few VIPs from Ardoyne Youth Club - which has been working to improve the lives of young people in North Belfast for 50 years - it’s also the very place where Jack grew up, which made the visit all the more special.

While new buildings continue to rise all around us our club a vital community hub that provides so much support and opportunity appears to have been forgotten.

This situation is unacceptable and must be addressed as a matter of urgency.

[Ardoyne Youth Club @ArdoyneYC]

For far too long our young people have been left waiting for a much needed purpose built centre. In 2013, capital funding was approved by the Department of Education for a new building, yet more than a decade later nothing has been delivered.

Our club welcomes hundreds of people through its doors every single day. Operating under these conditions is simply not good enough.

✨ ArdBone Fest 2025 was one to remember. From start to finish. It was packed with events and activities for all ages and the community support was nothing short of incredible.

A huge thank you to our funders, partners and sponsors who made it all possible 🙌

Stay tuned later this evening for the reveal of next year’s festival dates 👀🎉

What an incredible night at the Fleadh Paint Party 🎨✨

This event is always one of the highlights of the year and once again it didn’t disappoint. A fantastic crowd of young people and plenty of parents too 😂 All came together to enjoy the music, the atmosphere and of course the paint.

A huge thank you to all our amazing volunteers from local community organisations who gave their time and energy to make the night such a success. 🙌

We’re very grateful to the @TNLComFundNI for their support in making this brilliant event possible.

Here’s to another unforgettable evening hope you all had as much fun as we did. 😁

What an incredible three days at our Soccer Camp. Over 100 young people joined us each day playing football, building skills and most importantly having fun. The smiles said it all.😁

A huge thank you to our amazing coaches who make this camp so special every single year. 👏

Check out the highlights 😎 ⚽️

As part of #ArdBoneFest25 the community enjoyed a series of fantastic events yesterday. The Good Relations Health & Wellness morning with Ardoyne Shankill Healthy Living Centre offering health advice, complementary therapies, and a delicious lunch.

To a lively Paint & Sip night in the GAA where participants created their own masterpieces over drinks.

Residents at Holyrood House also enjoyed an evening of stories, music and bingo, bringing friends and neighbours together in celebration.

A fantastic evening of lively, honest, and open debate at the Houben Centre.
Our panel tackled key issues including the effectiveness of Stormont, welfare reform, and the situation in Gaza, engaging the audience in a truly thought-provoking discussion.

Huge thanks to our Chair the brilliant @BBCMarkSimpson from the BBC and to our outstanding panel: @CllrRyanMurphy, @BrianKingston @EoinTennyson @C_Fitz_ and @AllisonMorris1.

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY💖

AYC is a place where all girls and women can feel free, be themselves and use their voice💚

Our brilliant AYC Ensemble girls made a music video to showcase how strong, determined and capable women are🤩

Have a watch… 💖💚🟣

[Ardoyne Youth Club @ArdoyneYC]

This morning, we welcomed @paulgivan to AYC to see firsthand the current state of our building.

Having been granted funding 11 years ago, our deteriorated building is still standing.

Massive thanks to @johnfinucane @NicholaBradley @GerryKellyMLA for arranging the meetings

[The People's Kitchen Belfast @pk_belfast]

Tonight young people from @ArdoyneYC visited services across Belfast supporting those affected by homelessness & provided support to a number of those sleeping rough. Thanks to @ExternCharity and Reaching Out Homeless Support for their time & fantastic work.

We want to thank our amazing senior lads and volunteers who worked tirelessly all morning along with staff to help get rid of the flood water. Ardoyne is a real special community ❤️

[Ardoyne Youth Club @ArdoyneYC]

Yet again, our deteriorated building has let us down. The outdated internal drainage system felt the impact of storm Bert and this was the consequences. We have to replace floors,dry out skirting, throw water damaged equipment out so the financial implications are frightening.

[Ardoyne Youth Club @ArdoyneYC]

Once again, this highlights then need for our new build project which was granted by Department of Education NI to get started ASAP.
Children and young people of Ardoyne deserve better than this.
