A DAY IN THE LIFE OF: Ian Bothwell, director of Crossfire Trust

Ian Bothwell has been working for 30 years to rebuild the community in south Armagh.

Today, his focus is the Restoring Hope Project, which reaches out particularly to those disillusioned by the peace process.

His work reflects the theme of Community Relations Week, (which runs from May 23) Division – No Quick Fix, and is organised by the Community Relations Council (CRC).

Crossfire Trust is seeking to recruit a Support Worker for its Darkley House Care Programme.

The key role of the Support Worker will be to work directly with residents, ensure a warm, safe, supportive environment for them and organise voluntary and training opportunities for residents.
