DOLL MAKING...Thank you to the incredibly talented Iryna who delivered one of her Ukranian doll making workshops to our members yesterday 🌟
This is why we have our social café, funded by The National Lottery Community Fund Northern Ireland - so people can meet up, have a chat, get creative and learn something 😀

Thank you Iryna, we'll see you soon!

We were delighted to celebrate the achievements of the young people supported by our partner organisation, Craft Training.

Craft Training does incredible work in our community, supporting young people to build confidence, develop new skills, gain qualifications, and create pathways into employment and brighter futures.

We are proud to be working in partnership through The People’s Café and are excited to see this relationship continue to grow and flourish in the years ahead.

A huge congratulations to all of the graduates on this fantastic achievement. Your hard work, dedication, and perseverance have paid off, and you should be incredibly proud of yourselves.

We were especially delighted that our CEO, Lilian Seenoi Barr, had the opportunity to attend the graduation ceremony and present an award to one of the graduates. It was a privilege to celebrate such an important milestone with so many inspiring young people.

The future is bright, and we wish every graduate continued success on the journey ahead. 🌟👏🎓
