The fund was set up to honour the 15-year-old who was stabbed to death in North Belfast in 2005
The Thomas Devlin Fund is celebrating its ninth year of helping teens pursue their artistic passions, with £6,000 awarded in bursaries.
"In one sense, it was something very positive for us as Thomas' parents to do, so that his life would be remembered but that it would contribute to other young people like him. This year, there were four young people helped, with £6,000 handed out in bursary support - the fund is managed by the Community Foundation NI .
"We are immensely grateful to the people that supported it because had it not been for that, there would have been no fund. "It just gives them that chance, that step up to go on and do something further that they wouldn't otherwise be able to do. "They realise that Thomas couldn't unfortunately realise his potential, and they're so appreciative of the support that Penny and Jim give."Molly Bailes from Belfast plans to use the bursary to fund fees associated with a specialised Printmaking course in Chichester.
