What people say about us

I have been involved with the Resurgam youth provision from the age of 11. At present I still currently attend the Hilden Community Youth group and the Hillhall/Hilden Young Men’s Group. During my involvement within the youth provision I have been afforded the opportunity to partake in cross community work through a Boat Building trip to Cork alongside acquiring a range of qualifications including a Level 1 in Equality and Diversity, Level 1 Peace and Reconciliation and accredited sexual health and drug and alcohol awareness programmes.

Chandler, Age 15, Hilden

The Resurgam Trust is a unique project aimed at delivering positive change throughout Lisburn by the creation of strong partnerships between statutory and voluntary sectors. As Area Commander for Lisburn, I am delighted to be involved in many aspects of the work the Trust delivers.  Quite often as a Police service we deal with the symptoms of social deprivation and educational and economic disadvantage within communities. It is refreshing to work with a body that has developed a long term plan to address these issues and are investing in the future of their community in a really constructive way. I wish the Resurgam Trust every success as they move forward.

Chief Inspector Darrin Jones, PSNI Area Commander for Lisburn

I was really pleased to visit the Laganview Enterprise Centre and see some of the fantastic work being done by the Resurgam Trust. It a shining example of the role that social enterprise can have in developing communities, and the range and reach of the Resurgam Trust’s activity is making a hugely positive impact on people in the Lisburn area. I wish them continued success.

Vernon Coaker MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Northern Ireland

“I was pleased to visit the Resurgam Trust on Friday 4th January 2013 and was impressed with the excellent work that the Trust is undertaking in Lisburn. I wish you every success for the future.”

Theresa Villiers, The Rt Hon Secretary of State for Northern Ireland
