Prince’s Trust programme praised by Carrick Rotary
The club recently welcomed guest speakers Stewart Cheshire and Susan Duncan, workers with the Prince’s Trust Fairbridge programme.
Stewart and Susan explained that the programme targets young people who face a range of issues and barriers in their lives such as low self-esteem, substance abuse, homelessness or multiple offending. They are those that other organisations find difficult to engage.

Thanking the speakers for their insight into the initiative, outgoing Carrick Rotary president Sam Crowe said the members were looking forward to developing the Carrickfergus, Larne and Ballymena Rotary Clubs’ association with the Prince’s Trust.
