... [more] [less]What your organisation does
The organisation owns and manages the Gasyard Centre, which is the only purpose built facility in the NorthWest including the Border regions that delivers services to the community ranging from arts & culture, health & well-being, education, children’s services, volunteering and community safety that targets all generations of our community. Our
facility is situated in the Bogside/Brandywell areas of the city, an area that is fractured in terms of post conflict trauma and suffers hugely in community, economic, social and educational deficiencies. We focus mainly on those most disadvantaged in our community e.g. the homeless, recovering alcoholics, single parents, alienated youth, the unemployed, special needs children and their carers, ethnic minority groups, those suffering domestic abuse and older people. By the very nature of the area in which we work, the vast majority of our beneficiaries are from a deprived and marginalised background. GDT is also involved in cross community reconciliation projects with sister organisations from other areas of the city.
