    It’s my job to look after the social media and websites for all of Public Achievement in particular this WIMPS web site. I also manage the WIMPS project and will help to start new WIMPS crews around Northern Ireland.

    Paul Smyth 

    Director of Public Achievement

    I am responsible for all Public Achievement’s programmes - including WIMPS.  My main role is to manage the staff and budgets on behalf of our Board.  I also love to be involved in the WIMPS project.  I was involved in setting the project up, way back in 2004, and this is the third version of the website we have built since then.  I love the impact that WIMPS has on young people, communities and on politicians.  It is great when you see a politician being interviewed and they are challenged by a young person’s question.

    I am a creative person - I studied Fine Art and also Innovation at different points in my education - and I love the way WIMPS brings together these passions with my main passion - which is seeing young people make a difference.  We have a great team in WIMPS and at Public Achievement - so I hope you will get involved with our work and that it will make a difference to your life and your community.
