I pledge to CREATE, INSPIRE and SUPPORT our hard-working Community, Sporting and Voluntary Sector and the lives they touch.

I will continue to lead by example and give experience and guidance in anyway I can, because I believe that volunteers and community groups are the very foundation and fabric of our society.

“Volunteering is at the very core of being a human. No one has made it through life without someone else’s help; and Newry, Mourne & Down have some of the most passionate and hardworking volunteers and community groups in Ireland.”
