The Flax Trust is a registered charity formed in Belfast in 1977, and has as its mission the reduction – and, if possible, the elimination – of community tensions and religious prejudices by creative engagement in economic and social development, education and training with intercommunity activities including culture, the arts, sport, health, social programs, personal development and dedicated communication projects.
