January 2026

Hi John,

I hope you're keeping well, and that you had a restful Christmas and New Years break.

We are delighted to kick off 2026 with some great news. NYCI has been awarded funding through the €1.5 million Connected Communities Fund to equip youth workers to respond to rising hate and hostility in communities.

And below you'll find your roundup of deadlines for our upcoming training, job opportunities and calls. It’s already shaping up to be a busy start to the year!

All the best,

Charlie
