Speaking to Newry Times, Major John Parrott of The Salvation Army in Newry said, “The Salvation Army as a Christian Church has always valued and recognised the great work done by its volunteers. I am really excited and delighted to now be in a position to let others know of the contribution and skill development of young people.

“We have recently been able to offer support and encouragement to two of our previous members, who recently left the area to take up further education at Queens University Belfast and Cardiff University in Wales,” he added.
