Suffolk Lenadoon Interface Group (SLIG)

SLIG is owned by the two main community organisations in the area: the Suffolk Community Forum and the Lenadoon Community Forum. These organisations paved the way for SLIG and its property and urban regeneration arm: Stewartstown Road Regeneration Project (SRRP).

There had been no contact between Suffolk and Lenadoon for over 20 years until community leaders met in 1996. This was a brave step at a time when violence was prevalent. Those involved contended with decades of conflict, deep suspicion and mistrust. Determination to create a better future for their communities led to the creation of SLIG and SRRP. Both these organisations are grounded in, and fully consult with, the communities in which they operate. Community based solutions to social justice, equality, regeneration and conflict transformation issues have been and will continue to be sought.
