Reg Empey Visit
On Thursday 3 April 2008, New Lodge Bytes hosted a visit from the Department for Employment and Learning’s Minister Sir Reg Empey. The Minister was carrying out a series of visits to the various organisations that DEL provide funding for, and he was accompanied by a photographer and journalist from the Belfast Telegraph who were writing an article on the “Day of a Life of a Minister”.
Sir Reg Empey spoke to young people who attend the Newlodge Bytes Centre and asked them about the project work that they carried out in Bytes and the reasons why they use the centre. He was very interested in the young people’s folders and the recent project work that they had undertaken. Staff at New Lodge Bytes would like to extend a special thanks to the young people who attended the Minister’s visit: Colum Kelly, Joe Murphy, Gary McDade, Philip Moore, Martin Hughes, Anthony McDade, James Brophy and David McGahan.
The Bytes Project was previously interviewed by UTV with regards to the Matthew Lyle website set-up by parents David and Helen Lyle to help other people who may be struggling with drug and alcohol addictions.
