Youth Centre to restore river path
The Water Environment Community Awards, organised by NIEA, aim to help people in communities across Northern Ireland deliver projects that will enhance the quality of their local rivers, as well as inform and inspire others with their actions.
Saints Youth Centre will be working to restore a river path where a number of their members have taken their lives.

Hide AdSaints want to make the path into a more positive place while educating their members on the importance of the water environment through clean ups and the creation of a piece of outdoor art.
Dave Foster, NIEA’s Director of Environmental Protection said: “The young people involved in this project have demonstrated their commitment to protecting and improving the river in their area.
“I hope that their efforts over the next few months will inspire others to do their bit too and I would urge people to follow these projects and share what they see.”
