Progeny Education was started by parents and we exist to partner with parents of amazing young people who have found mainstream education overwhelming. A massive well done to every one of our students this year and especially to those leaving us and moving on. May God bless you and lead you as you step into this next stage of life.

A huge thank you to Eurospar Cullybackey for their generous donation of water and polo mints for the welcome bags at the Despising The Shame seminars in Cullybackey Elim Church!
There are still two nights left of these seminars - if you have been impacted by physical, emotional or sexual trauma, it's not too late to come along - you would be very welcome.
