Hello John,

Thank you for working with us in 2025 and Season's Greetings from all of us at NYCI.

Whether you joined us on a training, used our resources in your work, supported one of our campaigns, attended an in-person event or connected with us in any other way, as another year draws to a close, let’s remember those connections we’ve had and
shared goals we’ve achieved.

As we look ahead, I also want to take a moment to acknowledge Mary Cunningham’s many years of leadership and her enormous contribution to NYCI and to the youth work sector. Her commitment, care and vision have helped shape the organisation I am now honoured to lead. I’d invite you to take a moment to look back on some of the highlights of her time with NYCI, and read our Reflections on Mary Cunningham’s leadership at NYCI.
We wish you well and look forward to working with and supporting you again next year.
 
Happy Christmas, and best wishes for a healthy and peaceful New Year, from all of us here at the National Youth Council of Ireland.
