Bloody Sunday Trust- Background

The Bloody Sunday Trust is a community based education and history organization that was established in 1997 with the aim of exploring the recent troubled history of the City of Derry as a means of enhancing respect and understanding for Human Rights, and promoting mutual understanding through the honest examination of our past, with particular reference to events during the past 30 years.

This turbulent period of our history has ensured that the names of Derry, and the Bogside in particular, have become internationally recognised. The Trust seeks to give recognition and respect to the memories and experiences of the local community and to create the opportunity for these experiences to be transmitted to the wider community through a range of media.
