Youth organisation collection success

SIR, — Youth Initiatives Downpatrick would like to thank all those who generously donated last weekend at our street collection in the town centre. In total, £829.20 was raised towards the ongoing work of Youth Initiatives in Downpatrick. 

The staff at YI would like thank the PSNI for their help in organising this event as well as the general public who spoke to us, gave to us and made our day so successful. We operate out of our Market Street Project Centre, above Quinn’s Letting Agent and Santander Bank, and we are grateful for all of the local support we have received. 

Youth Initiatives is a local cross-community Youth Charity which seeks to provide a positive, relational environment for young people between the ages of 11-18.  We aim to awaken hope in young people through a strong, faith based, youth work methodology.

Yours etc,

MARK McFEETERS,

Area Manager,
