"We have several events planned that we hope will generate vital funds for Papyrus.
"We hope the community of Lisburn will support us throughout the year either by giving directly to us or support our fundraising activity. Any small donation or kind act can make a huge difference.”
The Resurgam Trust, as a member of the Lisburn Suicide Prevention Task Group fully recognises the devastating impact of suicide across our communities.
