The parish complies with the requirements of "Safeguarding Trust", the Church of Ireland's Code of Good Practice for working with children and young people. Leaders attend special training sessions and are acquainted with the Code.

We have a varied diet of activities for children and young people, thanks to a dedicated group of youth workers. Among them The Girls' Friendly Society, The Boys' Brigade, two Sunday Schools and the Confirmation Class. Our Badminton Club also has a flourishing and successful youth section.

Older young people participate in the regular social, and sporting events of West Cork Youth - an affiliation of young people from the Church of Ireland parishes of West Cork.

During the summer we shared a week of activities with the young people from the Methodist Church in a Summer Club entitled "Groundbreakers". With the help of many adult leaders and especially Captain Keith (ably assisted by Bob the Builder!) we explored bible heroes who had been groundbreakers for God.
