Bringing Greater Support Back Home to Lisburn
At LCC Community Trust, we know that the challenges faced in our community are part of a much bigger picture. That’s why we’re committed to building partnerships both locally and nationally – so that Lisburn benefits from stronger networks, better resources, and fresh ideas.
Local Connections
In Lisburn, our team has been out and about meeting partners who help us reach more people with practical support. We have been:
- Partnering with Resurgam Trust and Bryson Pathways to promote our Social Supermarket project as part of their Community Support launch.
- Attending a Wellbeing Day at Lisburn Jobs & Benefit Office to connect with people directly.
- Meeting with the CALC (Community Advice Lisburn & Castlereagh) team to share services and strengthen collaboration.
- Attending the Financial Health Event at the Bridge Community Centre with many local community groups.
These aren’t just one-off events; they’re vital opportunities to build relationships with local people who have worked in the charity space in Lisburn for years and to benefit from their experience. This means LCCCT is always listening and improving our services so that we better meet the needs of people who come to us for help.
As CEO Lynsey explains: “With growing levels of need in our community, we realise that we can’t do it all on our own. Partnership is at the heart of everything we do.”
National Networks That Strengthen Us
Partnership also means looking beyond Lisburn. Lynsey and Rebecca recently joined events hosted by a network of charities and civil society organisations, so that we can stay connected with national conversations.
These opportunities allow us to:
- Keep up to date with the latest research, training and governance.
- Build relationships with organisations across Northern Ireland.
- Learn from others so that we can bring the very best back home.
“When we connect and collaborate at a national level, we bring fresh ideas, stronger partnerships and greater support back home to Lisburn.” – Lynsey, CEO
Looking Ahead
As we continue to grow, we remain rooted in the belief that collaboration is key. Whether it’s a conversation over coffee in Lisburn or a national roundtable on policy and practice, every connection helps us serve our community better.
Together, we’re building a stronger, more resilient Lisburn. One partnership at a time.
