Anyone in the North Down, Ards and Down

District areas who would like to partici-

pate in a variety of cross-community good

relations projects

People involved in their local community

who would like support to organise their

own cross-community activities for adults

and young people.

Enthusiasm and a willingness to learn are

more important than experience or skills.

Our programmes are informal and will

help you gain confidence, necessary

knowledge and new skills.

There are separate programmes for

young people and adults of all

ages as well as inter-generational ones.

We hope the Glebe House Project will

be of benefit to YOU,

Your local community or organisation

and

To the wider community in North

Down, Ards and Down

Glebe House is owned and managed by Harmony

Community Trust. It is a unique and special place for

children, young people and adults, from Ireland, north

and south, and all over the world.

Since 1975 groups have been coming to Glebe House

for a week, two weeks, a weekend, or a day, to live,

work, learn, and while here discover that life can be

interesting, rewarding, and more fun than the

labels that get stuck on us.

We work for a peaceful, fair, inclusive society that

respects and cherishes each person's humanity,

dignity, aspirations, ideas and needs. One where each

person can determine and re-create their own

identity, rather than conform to sectarian, national,

ethnic, racial or social stereotypes, myths or stigmas.

At Glebe House people of all ages share, create and

renew friendships.
