Rosemount Factory
The Glen Development Initiative (GDI) is set to launch its PEACEPLUS project, 'A Stitch in Time', on July 9 at 1.00pm at the Brooke Park Leisure Centre's Main Hall.
This two-year project aims to explore various aspects of history and community within the Foyleside area of Derry, including the history of shirt factories, past and present residents, and the impact of the Troubles' 'Exodus' on the area.
The project will recruit 250 participants, focusing on residents from the Foyleside area and individuals with cross-community links who have former connections to the area or an interest in local history and heritage.
According to Amanda McDermott, Project Coordinator: “We at GDI are thrilled to launch this programme. The 'Stitch in Time' Programme will run for two years, featuring a range of activities and events that will promote good relations, reconciliation, positivity, and more.
“It will bring people who left the area during the conflict back together, rekindling old friendships and creating new ones.”
In addition to its community engagement activities, the project will also aim to develop a business case and masterplan for the iconic Rosemount Factory.
