LISBURN Community Self Build Limited recently held a celebration and awards ceremony at the Laganview Enterprise Centre in Old Warren estate.

Almost one hundred beneficiaries of the project, which was funded by Proteus through the European Peace II Programme, packed into the community hall to listen to Mr Martin Snodden (Northern Spring) deliver an evaluation of the project activities during the last three years.

Councillor Jenny Palmer presented the certificates to the young people who had participated in the activities which had been organised by the project. These included NVQ's on various skills within the building construction industry as well as Peace and Reconciliation and cross border work.

Guests at the ceremony included Brenda Kennedy who represented the intermediary funding group Proteus and Mr Seamus Braniff, Mr David McAllister and Mr Danny McKeown from Springvale Learning.
