Thomas Devlin Foundation Bursary
New Lodge Arts were delighted to secure funding from the Thomas Devlin Foundation to support Aoibheann Henry to complete Titanic Creative Management Summer Prosthetic and Special FX course.
The Thomas Devlin Foundation which is managed by the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland, has now given out £70,000 in bursaries since it was set up by Penny Holloway and Jim Devlin in 2006 in memory of their son Thomas who was tragically killed the previous year.

Alexandra Park was a ‘hive’ of activity this Easter thanks to a unique cross-community festival themed around the life of bees.
Led by schools and community groups from across North Belfast, children from schools such as St Patrick’s and Seaview PS have been created working with the local artists to design and construct giant bees, gigantic flowers, bee costumes and bee houses.
New Lodge Arts junior dancers have recently been presented with awards accredited by UKA Dance (a recognised awarding body across UK & Ireland). We organised evenings where parents and families were invited along to watch their children perform & receive their certificates & medals. A total of 35 young people aged 3-9 years old have completed their dance exams in Hip Hop & Ballet, before Christmas last year. The young people worked hard in their weekly classes and rehearsals for these exams.
