DDYC celebrate their amazing volunteers

The many programmes and events run by DDYC are made possible by an amazing group of about 60 volunteer leaders and so each year we say ‘thank you’.

Last weekend, 30 of those young leaders joined Julie and Tim for a celebratory meal at Pizza Express in Belfast. The craic was great, and each volunteer was presented with a bar of chocolate and a unique DDYC mug with a personalised message. The message however, only reveals itself when hot liquid is poured into the mug so they were told to go home, relax, have a cup of tea and read their message (which was sure to make them laugh).

‘These guys are brilliant,” says our Children’s Officer, Julie Currie. “They’re so dedicated to DDYC and the children and young people in our programmes. Without the gift of their time we couldn’t do Saturday Night Live, JAM Camp, the Kilbroney Adventure Camps, Confirmation Weekend, SERVE, the Praise Party and anything else we need them for!”

Thanks again guys. You’re worth it!
