Job Alert 24th May 2019, listing current job vacancies in Bray and surrounding areas

We were delighted to host Minister Simon Harris and members of the Youth Mental Health Network at BAP offices on 5th April for the official announcement that a Jigsaw Youth Mental Health Project for Wicklow will open in Bray this year.

Our Healthy Ireland initiative is providing workshops in local schools where children and parents can have fun while learning about nutrition, delicious healthy cooking and physical exercise. Find out more HERE.

At our February 2019 BAP Disability Network meeting, members got to meet up, share information and chat about ways to work together more collaboratively.

The group also agreed some actions for the coming year:
