Projects

Community outreach

LQ BID supports the delivery of community projects as part of its broader commitment to make the Linen Quarter a better place to live in for all. Projects include environmental and streetscape projects aimed at improving residential areas and underused spaces throughout the district; sponsorship of local sport teams; and other funding for community-led projects.

Donegall Pass community mural

This new mural is located on Maryville Street, and is installed in collaboration with Donegall Pass Community Forum and street artist Carla Hodgson (also known as CHA CHA). The content for the mural was developed by primary school-aged children from the local area through a series of workshops organised throughout Summer 2025, while the painting of the mural itself (also executed by local children) took place in two stages in July and August 2025. The work builds on years of community-led improvements and is intended to reflect local identity and values through vibrant, collaborative public art.

The Maryville Street mural forms part of a wider initiative to transform key entrance points into Donegall Pass, a historically active and close-knit neighbourhood adjacent to the Linen Quarter. Further environmental improvement works to the Maryville site are planned to take place during the month of October, as part of the BID’s Safe & Clean week.
