HARMONY Hill Presbyterian Church hosted a special thanksgiving service on Sunday January 13 to mark the first anniversary of The Base drop in centre.

John Blair, Outreach CoOrdinator, took his audience through last year's activities, which included a trip to the Belfast Giants, sailing to the Isle of Man and camping overnight in the mountains. In attendance were the Mayor and Mayoress, Mr and Mrs James Tinsley, who presented five young people with the OCN Level 1 in Drug Awareness, facilitated by ASCERT.

Geoff Baird from Lisburn Police also spoke of how the crime rate has fallen in the Lambeg area since The Base opened and the important role it plays within the community.

The night was well attended by the community and a good night was had by all.
