We just recieved this message from one of our readers; thought it deserved to be posted...

Over the last couple of years I've watched SpunOut.ie grow bigger and better. It started out as a humble website with big plans and is now well on the road to superstardome, winning awards, users and media attention along the way. There's a long way to go for sure (it needs more multimedia for example..) but the most important thing is that SpunOut.ie is reaching tons of people and making a difference in their lives.

What really p*sses me off though is all the back slapping supporters from big organisations and from government who keep talking about the need for new youth services, the importance of the internet, and how great SpunOut.ie is, but yet they fail to rally behind it funding and sponsorship.

It costs money to run a great national service and the team behind the site deserve all the support they can get, from media, organisations and from the government. It's time the big cats started walking the talk and helped those than can make a difference to get on with doing it.

Me and my mates will be emailing and writing to my local Councillors and TDs and letting them know that we're gonna make them ear their money and deliver on proper services and help for young people. Watch this space….

Up SpunOut.ie!
