Foyle Valley villages celebrate change project in Donemana
The Villages Together event gave an opportunity for local groups to hear more about how they can be supported to investigate new ways of operating and how the sector can look towards sustaining itself without the need for funding in an era where funding available is decreasing.
The Villages Together will, over the next eighteen months, be looking at how other groups sustain themselves and how local community and voluntary groups can learn from this.

The organisation is also using this project to highlight the benefits of volunteering and are keen to hear from anyone with a special interest or talent.
The full detail of the project was presented at the launch which saw good interest and excitement for the future. From this funding The Villages Together will be working in closer co-operation with many other groups and organisations that can improve life for local people.
