Super-engaged @USEnvoyNI @USAinNI with a range of community representatives in the Spectrum Centre on the Shankill Road. Not just sustaining peace but building the peace was a theme with @FundforIreland and the reps involved. Thanks to Jackie and @USEL182

[Amy Gribbon @AmyGribbon]

Lovely morning meeting with Joe Kennedy @USEnvoyNI talking about peace and prosperity in our communities. Time spent reflecting on the great work going on and issues our sector faces.

[Joseph Kennedy III @USEnvoyNI]

Thanks to @SpectrumBelfast in the heart of Belfast Shankill Road for sharing the challenges of inclusive economic growth in Northern Ireland - and the great lunch from @usel

@joedickey1967 @CONALLPOWELL Joe, did you get a first? 🤔😅

[Dave Scott @DaveScott1977]

The most uplifting murals in Belfast at the wonderful ForthSpring centre which sits right on the peaceline. A place where all are welcome and belong. ❤️

[Cllr Tina Black @CllrBlack]

I loved meeting Forthspring Intercommunity Group.

They offer a real diversity of programmes at one site & have worked with courage in providing shared activities.

The group have a great future vision plan & I really commend them for their endeavours & commitment.

Attended Principled & Revolutionary: Women, Art and Activism Symposium @UlsterMuseum @BelfastPhotoFes

Great day of discussions exploring the essential role of women in art, activism and change making.

Cuts to frontline services result in…
Loss of skilled and experienced staff
Loss of consistency and stability in provision
Limits to key services
Loss of key services
Loss to our communities and those who need it most.

[Amy Gribbon @AmyGribbon]

Powerful to see our sector join together in protest of extreme cuts and highlight the impact across our communities.

These cuts will undoubtedly decimate vital services. Cuts to community services don’t heal, they worsen the wound.

[Amy Gribbon @AmyGribbon]

This week I’m attending the Mastery Ireland Intensive along with other community leaders working on peace and reconciliation.

At last night’s #Agreement25 dinner George Mitchell, the peace talks chair, spoke of his first visit.
He paid tribute to @jackieredpath who had convincingly made the case for action to tackle economic disadvantage. Worth a listen. https://t.co/TMJ89sMkDz. Still very relevant.
