In 2011 Seymour Street Methodist Church conducted a survey in the Low Road area of Lisburn adjacent to the church to identify the views of the local community on the needs of the community and how the Church could help to meet them.It was from this initiative that Damask was formed as an independent charity working closely with Seymour Street Methodist Church to offer a range of services and activities which the community had identified as the most needed.The name Damask represents two concepts; firstly that of strength achieved through the weaving together of different strands, picking up on the desire to work in partnership with others to build a strong community and, secondly the name Damask is rooted in Damascus which is associated with change and Damask Community Outreach aims to provide opportunities that will change lives and build futures.
