New merger will help more people with health and well-being across Northern Ireland
Bryson Charitable Group has joined forces with one of the leading players in the outdoor adventure arena in Northern Ireland, Pathway Adventure Activities, further strengthening the Group’s offering in this field.
Committed to developing and delivering sustainable responses to social needs across Northern Ireland, Bryson Charitable Group supports over 30,000 people every year through a variety of services.
The merger with Pathways - which is well established in providing outdoor learning experiences – will enhance opportunities for communities to further improve health and well-being, helping people realise their full potential.
Shane Logan, chief executive, Bryson Group said: “This merger with Pathways will have a dramatic impact on the work of Bryson, greatly strengthening and enhancing our existing adventure activities. By working together, we will now be able to significantly increase opportunities for many people and communities in Northern Ireland.
We work with people from all backgrounds with our core work concentrating on those considered most marginalised, both socially and economically and this perfect partnership will help us to positively change lives, drive potential and give people opportunities they would never otherwise have.”
Mike Murdock, Pathways, commented: “Now by combining our strengths there is a fantastic opportunity to thrive, growing the adventure activities offering to reach and benefit more people. Bryson Charitable Group already has a comprehensive infrastructure and strong financial base and been doing excellent charitable work for more than a century. Merging Pathways with the Group was a perfect fit.
An exciting future lies ahead for Pathways, and we look forward to Bryson Charitable Group bringing their inspiring work to more communities across Northern Ireland.”
