Boxing training on in the centre tonight, wee bit of painting out graffiti and a bit of outreach to round off a long day.

Like yesterday and long gone at the same time...from the archives.

Out and about tonight on streets packed with young people from all over. Loads were asking to get involved in our clean ups that are starting back the week after next.

Wee squad out this morning and cleaned up the grotto, back of Bruslee and the milk crate hill. Some heat and a great shift put in by the lads…

Night out down the coast, climbing over rocks and talking nonsense…what was that saying about the best things in life being free.

For everyone who has contacted us about the Summer Jobs at the Bosco. We are hoping to bring everyone in on Thursday evening the 22nd May to explain the programme.

Drove up to Benone beach tonight with 12 lads on the bus. On the way they were singing along to Bob Marley’s Don’t worry about a thing…

Nights out up the coast…back in Belfast just before 11.

A morning in the sunshine. The lads cut back hedges, cleared weeds and cleaned up around Victoria Nursery and the bottom of the seven hills.💪no better way to spend a sunny Saturday…

14 young people showed up tonight to register their interest in our summer work experience programme at the Bosco Cafe…

No-one told me that because the Bosco Cafe sponsors St Patrick’s 2010s that I had to drive them down to Emerald Park for their end of season Trip 😕

In the Bosco Cafe tonight boarding walls and painting as part of its renovation. Will look the part when it’s done - should be back open the middle of next week.

Lads out this morning and cleaned up Victoria Parade, cut back trees and bushes, cleared weeds and even took the time to cut the grass in a pensioner’s home. Good wee shift they put in…

Up on the roof of the centre tonight trying to sort out a leak..getting dive bombed by a couple of over protective seagulls. One of the many joys of independent youth workers 😉

We were in tonight working on the Bosco Cafe’s renovation. It’s a measure of how far our wee social enterprise has become a New Lodge institution that we have customers threatening to wreck the place if we don’t hurry up and get it opened again 😃

Friday night at the Aviva Stadium with a wee squad to watch Ireland against Senegal. A couple of the lads are working with us in the morning although we’ll not get back until after midnight..should be some craic.

Lads got back from Dublin last night at half twelve and were out this morning at 10 o’clock. Cleared bottom Pinkerton and seven hills. cutting back bushes and weeding outside older residents houses…
