Concluding, he added: “On behalf of the management committee, I would like to thank our volunteers who have worked tirelessly to organize the summer activities. This will be a busy period for us, and we are always eager for additional volunteers who want to give back to their community.

"I also want to thank the organizations that have supported us to ensure the success of the summer scheme, including the Big Lottery Community Fund, Newry, Mourne and Down District Council, the Department for Communities, and the Confederation of Community Groups.”
