Chair’s Charity 2026-2027

Each year the Council Chair has the privilege of choosing a charity to promote during their term to help highlight the good work being done by the charity and raise their profile.

The Chair’s chosen charity for 2026–2027 is Fermanagh & Omagh Women’s Aid, an organisation dedicated to ending domestic violence against women and children.

Speaking about her chosen charity, Chair, Councillor Debbie Coyle, said:

“I have chosen Fermanagh & Omagh Women’s Aid as my charity for this year in recognition of my long-standing connection with the organisation, which supported me during a very difficult time in 1996. I have seen first-hand the vital role it plays in helping those affected by domestic abuse. My own experience has shaped my commitment to supporting others, and I am passionate about raising awareness of the services available and addressing gender-based violence within our communities.”
