We were excited to welcome pupils to The Resurgam Trust from St. Patrick’s and Lisnagarvey as part of our peer-led mental health & well-being programme. This was an opportunity to link them to volunteering and community supports in the local area.

Let's get married in Northern Ireland....

Yes let's go to the Causeway coast and have photos by an ancient castle...

This night 5 years ago, I’d my last conversation with Lyra. Hours later, she was dead. The kindest, sweetest, most extraordinary person I knew was murdered by morons on a Derry street. Her precious life snuffed out for nothing. There’s not a day I don't miss her.❤️u kid.
