Below is what centres said about the impact of the Student Development Fund in 2020:

“The timing of the activity this year let the new students hear about NALA at the beginning of their time in Youthreach. Because it was on our own grounds (mobile climbing wall) this year neighbours and passersby asked us what was the climbing wall and why we had it.” – Youthreach Mahon

“The impact on our centre was very positive, the fund gave our students the opportunity to come together and participate in a very well-run creative writing course with the content adapted to the individual needs of the participants. It came at a very good time as students were just returning to the centre after Lockdown.” — National Learning Network, Wexford

“The fund allowed us to hold a series of socially distanced events which gave the students an opportunity to bond and regroup after the events of the year and to discuss what they saw as challenges and hopes for their learning in the coming year.” –  Youthreach Blanchardstown
