In 2022 the LIPS Trustees developed a three year Strategic Plan to promote and deliver a range
of mental health interventions within the Limavady catchment area. The first year of the stratcgy
was to relocate from a multi user building which had access limitations to a new town centre
prcmises based in Catherine Street, Limavady. This was achieved with the funding secured
through the Community FoundatAon grant. Having this prcscnce has undoubtL'dly raised the
protilL' of L,IPS as we now are able to better liaise with local stakeholdcrs, statutory agencies and
those who need our services.
The aGtivities Ca￿led out from our n¢w location primarily included training, including supporting
those who are caring for someone with mental health needs.
The primary beneficiaries Include local community groups, stakeholder organisations and
bereaved i'elatives who have been bereaved by suicide. Our geographical catchmenl area is the
Limavady, Dungiven, Claudy, Greysteel, Eglinton and Magilligan.
