We were honoured to welcome the Mayor of Lisburn and Castlereagh, Councillor Kurtis Dickson, to our head office today. The visit marked an important step in promoting mental wellbeing, one of the Mayor’s key themes for the year.
During his visit, the Mayor met with ASCERT’s Chief Executive, Gary McMichael, and received detailed presentations from the charity. These presentations highlighted the extensive work ASCERT does across Northern Ireland, supporting over 13,000 individuals last year alone.
Mr Dickson who represents Downshire East was elected to the council in 2023 and has become the youngest Mayor in the city’s history at the age of just 27. He took up office as Lisburn and Castlereagh’s first citizen at the start of June 2024.
