Meet & Eat Cafe
Meet & Eat Cafe
Meath Youth Federation introduced its new “Meet & Eat Cafe" lunchtime service in January 2008.
The service is open to Transition, 5th and 6th year students from 12.30pm – 1.15pm. Like clockwork each day there’s a mass exodus at 1.15pm to head back to school for their afternoon classes. While the students enjoy using a warm place and receiving warm refreshments, we enjoy the opportunity of providing a safe environment and an opportunity for students to avail of our other services.
Minister Noel Dempsey officially launched the service in February 2008, encouraging the students to continue to use the service and highlighted the efforts being made by staff and volunteers to accommodate young people’s needs, no matter how small. He agrees with our vision of extending this pilot service to other towns in the county.
The Meet & Eat Cafe is now open in the evenings for students and teenagers on their way home for school looking for somewhere to wait for the bus, looking for information or who just want to spend time with their friends playing snooker, table tennis or availing of free internet.
