Young people from the Devenish Partnership Forum's Heroes Project recently donated funds raised from their successful colour run to two local charities.
A total of £1,000 was raised from the charity event which took place on Saturday, November 13 at the Devenish Partnership Forum Nature Reserve in Killmacormick, Enniskillen.

This money was divided equally, with £500 donated to both Friends of the Cancer Centre and Microtia UK, charities chosen by participants of the Heroes Project who organised the popular event.
One of the young people in the group who has Microtia wanted to give back to a charity that means so much to her, this meant that her friends where really enthusiastic about raising money for a charity that had a personal link.

The event was a huge success and one that the Devenish Partnership are hoping to run annually following excellent feedback from participants and people in the local community.
The Heroes Project is funded by Peace IV Programme and Managed by Special EU Programmes Body.
