Spirit Of Enniskillen TrustID: 6270

The Spirit of Enniskillen Trust is an award winning youth led charity based in Belfast and working across Northern Ireland with young people from a wide variety of backgrounds. It was established in 1989, inspired by the words of the late Senator Gordon Wilson following the loss of his daughter, Marie, in the 1987 Enniskillen Bomb.

Today, the Trust is committed to developing the capacity of young people to make a positive contribution in their community by leading change, engaging in open and honest dialogue and respecting identity and human rights.

The work of the Trust depends on the commitment of more than 100 highly skilled young volunteers who are participants or past participants in Trust programmes. We currently operate three local and international programmes:

• Explore                    International exchange and leadership
• Future Voices         Promoting volunteering and participation
• Together                 Supporting “Shared Education” in post-primary schools.

 The Spirit of Enniskillen Trust received the Guardian Charity of the Year Award 2011.
