Amazing Advocacy project from @KateNicholl@AnakaCollective and @OliverJeffers highlighting the realities of life for children living in our city whilst seeking asylum here.
Still buzzing from the @OliverJeffers x Anaka exhibition launch y’day at Stormont. The project ‘Seen’ celebrates the children and young people we work with & also aims to raise awareness of the realities that they are living in whilst seeking asylum here…
At the end of February, our friends @RedeemerCentral discovered a number of old books in a hidden safe under the stairs.
The items inside helped solve a mystery that has been bothering our Archive Co-ordinator for over a year! Who was this man? And why was his portrait in Donegall Street Congregational Church?!
Mystery Solved! He was James Wylie and was leader of the church when Belfast welcomed in the 20th Century.
You can read about his story on our website!
