Two new appointments to Equipping for Life
The local faith–based community charity, Equipping for Life, has made two senior management appointments. Audrey Curry will take over the position of Co–Director and Darrin Barr becomes Area Support Officer.
Audrey began her teaching career in Orangefield Girls’ School, but for the past 30 years she has been part of the Senior Management team of Stranmillis University College. She is originally from just outside Armagh, but now lives in Belfast.
Audrey is passionate about seeing young people reach their full potential. She loves to watch children develop into confident young people who go on to be successful in life. Audrey is committed to helping Equipping for Life become a life changing ministry that partners with churches, schools and communities across Northern Ireland. She is dedicated to building on the strong Christian foundation of the ministry, especially in regard to prayer.
Darrin has a Ph.D. in organic chemistry and began his career working in the pharmaceutical industry. Later he moved into education and served for many years as Vice Principal of Victoria College. He was also Vice Principal of Bloomfield Collegiate in East Belfast, where he later became Principal for 9 years. Darrin’s main responsibility will be to spread EfL to as many places as possible throughout Northern Ireland.
