Today was one of those rare days that stays with you.

Honoured to represent everyone at Lifford Clonleigh Resource Centre and the LEAD Youth Leadership Programme at the 40th anniversary celebrations of the International Fund for Ireland and the launch of its new ten-year strategy.

To sit on a panel discussing peacebuilding, youth leadership, border communities and the future of this island - alongside diplomats, political representatives and international guests - was both humbling and deeply meaningful.

I was proud to speak not only about the work happening in Donegal and Tyrone, but also about the international relationships that have grown from this small corner of the borderlands: connections with Never Again Rwanda, the Center for Civil Liberties in Ukraine, the Post-Conflict Research Center in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and wider global conversations around memory, conflict, reconciliation and hope.

The new IFI strategy feels ambitious, grounded and genuinely hopeful. There was a strong recognition throughout the day that peacebuilding cannot stand still.

Communities are changing, politics is changing, technology is changing, and young people are navigating a far more complex world than previous generations. The next decade will require imagination, courage and sustained investment in relationships and shared spaces.

Again and again today I was reminded that peacebuilding is not abstract work. It is relationship-building. It is listening. It is creating spaces where people can hear other people's experiences and still recognise something of themselves in them.

Forty years on from the founding of the IFI, there was also a real sense that this work remains unfinished. A new generation now has to think carefully about identity, division, democracy, belonging and what the future of this island might look like. Young people are not simply inheriting history - they are actively shaping what comes next.

And all of this emerging from a resource centre in Lifford. That matters.

Grateful to everyone involved, and proud to have carried the voices and experiences of our young people and communities into that room today. M

Delighted and genuinely grateful to have been invited, on behalf of everyone at Lifford Clonleigh Resource Centre, to participate in tomorrow’s panel discussion on the future strategy and direction of the International Fund for Ireland.

It is also a real privilege to be part of the celebration marking 40 years of IFI peacebuilding and investment across Ireland - a remarkable milestone and an opportunity to reflect on how far this island has travelled, while also thinking honestly and creatively about the future still ahead of us.

Tomorrow I will be speaking about our work through the LEAD Youth Leadership Programme, supporting young people across border communities to explore leadership, identity, peacebuilding, emotional wellbeing, civic participation and connection in often complex and changing times.

I will also reflect on the importance of the international relationships and solidarity that have emerged through this work, including connections with Never Again Rwanda, the Post-Conflict Research Center in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Nobel Peace Prize winning Center for Civil Liberties in Ukraine, and the Darfur Centre for Peace and Development.

What strikes me sometimes is that all of these conversations, connections and collaborations have emerged from a community resource centre in Lifford, on the edge of the border - proof that small places can still hold global conversations, and that local youth work can resonate far beyond the communities where it begins.

There is something deeply powerful about young people in Donegal, Tyrone and across the border region hearing directly from communities around the world that also understand conflict, division, resilience, recovery and hope.

Peacebuilding is never finished work. It is human work.
Relational work. Often quiet work. But it matters deeply.

Very proud to represent the work taking place every day through Lifford Clonleigh Resource Centre - a small community space in a border town, creating connection, opportunity and hope. Mark McCollum

A quiet but important thank you to the CE Scheme team in Lifford and to the Biodiversity Officer at Donegal County Council for the beautiful flower planters now appearing throughout the town.

Small things matter.
Colour matters.
Care for public spaces matters.

In difficult times, places can easily begin to feel neglected or forgotten. Simple acts of planting, maintaining and investing in shared spaces help create a different feeling - one of welcome, pride and connection. The flowers have added real colour and character to Lifford and have noticeably brightened the streetscape.

Community wellbeing is not only built through large projects and funding announcements.

Sometimes it is built through thoughtful everyday acts that remind people their town is cared for.

Thank you to everyone involved in the planting and upkeep. It genuinely makes a difference.
