Organisational Support

Representatives at COP26 inspired us to begin the year with a focus on climate change and global justice. This is supported by Irish Aid funding. At the end of November, we said goodbye to over 20 staff who had been employed on the m-power programme funded by Peace IV funding through SEUPB. 682 young people completed the programme over the 4 years.

At the beginning of May we said farewell to Willie Lamrock who passed away soon after retiring from many years service to Londonderry YMCA. During the year Howard Davey & Brian Murtagh retired. Darryn Causby and Lisa McCloy moved on to new opportunities. We wish them well in their new paths.

Funding cuts from EA for regional support has led us to pursue new funding opportunities and social enterprise to sustain the organisation.

Training has begun for a new set of chaplains, we look forward to welcoming them to the team.

They will add to our values of welcome, opportunity, wellbeing and peace and justice.
