A charity dance is being held in Derry this week in support of a local group that supports the needs of people with learning disabilities.
The event, being held in An Culturlaan in Great James Street this Friday (8.00pm to 1.00am), is being held to raise funds for Destined and the Leafair Men’s Group.
Set up in August 2002, Destined is a voluntary charitable organisation with two centres – one in Derry and one in Feeny – that seeks to address the needs of people with learning disabilities in a whole life context.
Empowering people with learning disabilities and promoting social inclusion, Destined has as its core ethos the involvement and full participation of its members in all aspects of activity and at all levels of the decision making process.
This ethos has ensured members with learning disabilities constitute the majority of the board of directors and management committee.
Music for Friday night’s dance will be provided by the Squealin’ Pigs.
Tickets, priced £5, are available from the Destined office in Great James Street, telephone 028 362424 or at the door on the night.
