Respect Project

Tonight we were delighted to present a cheque of £1125 and various clothing, toiletry and food items to the Newry Simon Community.

This was done via our annual 12 hour sleep out that the young people involved in our Ignite Your Health Girls Programme did last month.

Big thank you to everyone who donated towards this fundraiser.

Our Ignite your Health Girls Programme had a brilliant evening tonight at Newry Omniplex attending the cinema premiere of “Stand Up for Change” - Ending Violence against Women and Girls, developed by ThreeWays Youth Group

Great event and well done to everyone involved in raising awareness of such an important issue

Well done to all the young people from our Ignite Your Health Girls Programme who braved the elements last night for their 12 hour Sleep out to help raise awareness of homelessness.

This is our third consecutive year delivering this event with different youth programmes we run, all in aid of helping to raise donations for the Newry Simon Community Northern Ireland

The aim of this event is not just to raise donations for the Simon Community but to help give the young people a small insight into what a homeless person faces on a daily basis.

So far the young people have raised over £500 for this years event and have also gathered lots of clothing, toiletry and food items to give to the Simon Community
