Head of Research & Policy @grantwarrenNI talking to @BelfastLive ๐ข
โThe people that will determine Northern Irelandโs future are those people who donโt necessarily vote along the traditional binary - and who are most concerned about the practical policy offering that government delivers for them.โ

Northern Ireland today is a place transformed. In a generation, we have come from conflict to build a peaceful, democratic society. Across our communities, people live, work and build their lives together, within a settlement that respects difference. There is a shared sense of belonging and a quiet pride in what we call home.
Too often, that story is overlooked. The conversation drifts towards division. Confidence has been shaken by instability, pressure on public services and uncertainty about what lies ahead. We focus too much on competing futures, instead of improving the present we already share.
But Northern Ireland is changing. More people are looking beyond old divisions. The foundations are already in place. A growing economy. Ambitious and talented young people, with the ability to deliver. This is our moment to move forward with confidence.
To realise that opportunity, a stronger case for Northern Ireland must be made. Renew NI exists to lead that work. Bringing together evidence, ideas and practical solutions. Building a clear, positive vision that reflects our strengths and meets our challenges head on.
A future where more people feel proud, not just of what we have overcome, but of what we are building together. A Northern Ireland that delivers. Confident in ourselves. Clear in our direction. We can build a Northern Ireland people donโt just live in, but believe in.

@WomensAidNI ๐ On their last engagement, Their Majesties visited Conway Square in the heart of Newtownards to join a celebration of the town and its community, which coincided with a two-day festival showcasing the very best of local food, artists and businesses. 4/4
