The 2023 Dunluce Parish Art and Photography Exhibition – the 14^th annual event – proved to be a record breaker, raising a total of £2,585 for charity.

The event was held in the Parish Centre over the weekend of April 28-May 1, and this year’s beneficiaries are the Church of Ireland Bishops’ Appeal and a small local charity, Friends of Pavestone Centre, a vocational and rehabilitation centre in Coleraine for people with mental or physical disabilities.

On Sunday May 21, Rhoda Baxter from Friends of Pavestone attended morning service to thank Dunluce Parish for its donation and to speak about the work of the Centre and how the funds raised would be used for the benefit of their clients. After the service a cheque was presented to Rhoda by the Rev Sam McVeigh on behalf of the parish.
