Derry City and Strabane District Council invite suppliers to tender for PeacePlus Ballyarnett Women's Programme. Derry City and Strabane District Council are seeking an organisation to co-ordinate and deliver a cross-community women's leadership programme examining exploring cultural traditions and beliefs.
