SINN Féin Councillor Tony Hassan has welcomed the news that the Shantallow-based Teamworks Project in Derry has secured £20,000 in funding.
It is part of the first round of the Housing Executive’s Social Housing Enterprise programme.
The aim of the programme is to create economically vibrant communities through the creation and development of social enterprises.
Councillor Tony Hassan said: “I would like to congratulate the Teamworks projects on receiving the award of £20,000 from the Housing Executive.
“The work that they undertake benefits communities not only in the greater Shantallow and Galliagh areas but across the city.
“They also provide the opportunity for many people to get back on the employment ladder,” he added.
