Our Future Foyle

Project title

Our Future Foyle

Description of initiative

The Foyle Reeds seek to be a cultural installation with the dual purpose of a suicide prevention mechanism on the Foyle Bridge. This installation would be the largest public sculpture in Northern Ireland and aims to develop and inform suicide prevention measures for cities worldwide. Linking the Atlantic Way and Causeway Coastal routes this bridge also links Ireland and Northern Ireland. Utilised and developed to its full potential, the Foyle Bridge has the ability to enhance tourism of the wider area, following the success of the Peace Bridge and the landmark that it has become in the city of Derry.
