A WELCOME meeting was recently held for the Old Warren Partnerships Migrant Workers Project.

The Project, funded under the European Peace Programme with Community Foundation for Northern Ireland being the Intermediary Funding Body, so far has attracted over 60 European Nationals who are working and living in Northern Ireland.

The meeting, held at Lisburn Civic centre, was well attended.

Issues facing migrant workers were addressed and the work of the project was praised by local councillors and community representatives.

Patrick Yu from the Northern Ireland Council for Ethnic Minorities (NICEM) described the issues facing migrant workers and how important it is to know who to contact for advice and support.

He outlined the work of the Old Warren Partnerships Project and expressed support for it.
