March 2014 I started in my new role with @CO3updates naively unaware of the wonderful experiences &people I would meet& have along the way. Now it’s time for a new chapter both for me and CO3, creating a life-changing opportunity for somebody to take up the reins as the next CE0

[Children in NI @ChildreninNI]

Deirdre is very brave speaking on @BBCgmu about living in poverty. We need to raise income and reduce outgoings to end poverty. No one should have to rely on food banks to feed their family #EndPoverty

This week, as we redouble our efforts to protect lives, I'm fully behind this call from our Chief Medical Officer to look after our mental health.

There is much reason for hope, but many are struggling. It is vital that we talk about our feelings & ask for help when we need it.

[NI Executive @niexecutive]

This group of young people from Rathcoole got a special mention at the Executive meeting last night for their amazing effort to help keep everyone safe from #COVID19

Thank you for working together to highlight the simple steps we must all take to stop the spread of the virus 🙌

[Mid & East Antrim Agewell Partnership @meaapni]

Oh wow! Thanks very much for the #Top8. We were so chuffed that @CDHN_NI liked the idea so much that they took the lead to develop it & secure permissions to do it not only in @mea_bc but all across NI involving many more fab community groups!

[PPR @PPR_Org]

Inez started out fighting poverty as a social worker in Ballymurphy in the 70’s.

She went on to change lives & the world around her in so many different ways - then founded PPR!

How fitting that this piece by Susan Hughes will be part of our HEART Auction this Xmas #❤️
