Your vital support will help change lives
spunout is Ireland’s youth information and support platform, working towards an Ireland where all young people are supported and empowered to thrive.
spunout is a leader in pushing out vital information for young people across Ireland. spunout has been successful at accessing state funding, but as with most charities this funding does not cover all of the costs in the running costs. spunout relies on corporate and community partners and individuals to continue its work. spunout is eager to grow and develop, so more young people know what we are there for and to easily access our services, whether that is our free online platform for nonjudgemental information, the academy learning platform, navigator digital signposting tool or our vital service Text About It we need to boost our funds in order for these services to continue and grow.
