Employment and Learning Minister Dr Stephen Farry has opened and presented awards at Ashton Community Trusts Annual Awards Ceremony, at Belfast Castle.
Ashton Community Trust has secured Northern Ireland European Social Fund programme funding for three projects, the Progress to Employment project, the North Belfast Works project and the Women's Training project. They also deliver employment services to the local community in North Belfast through the Local Employment Intermediary Service (LEMIS).
Speaking at the awards ceremony the Minister said: "Ashton's activities supported, by the European Social Fund and the LEMIS programme, are excellent examples of how we can combine new and innovative approaches alongside mainstream interventions in order to address disadvantage in a particular area - North Belfast in this case.
"Ashton has made a significant contribution to the success of the LEMIS community employment initiative. During the period April 2011 to February 2013, 26% of Ashton’s clients were helped to find permanent employment.
"These results are very encouraging and a testimony to the excellent work of the Ashton mentors working on the ground out in the community."
