Our CEO Briege Athurs & Chair of our Board, Helen Crickard meeting with Shadow Secretary of State Hilary Benn MP outlining our Seamless Transition in Education Programme (STEP) with South Belfast MP Claire Hanna & Principal Mrs Roulston of Blythfield Primary school.

The lack of political urgency in responding to the ongoing campaign of racist intimidation is stunning.

The PSNI must deal with the criminals but it’ll take political leadership and action to bring a sea-change in our society.

Now the Assembly is back up it needs to step up.

Encouraging to hear Stormont Opposition leader Matthew O'Toole on the radio advocate that tackling child poverty should be a top priority in a new Programme for Government. At Save the Children NI we urge departments to come together to tackle it collectively & with real intent.

The calm after the storm knocking doors in Carryduff for Claire Hanna 🌬💨🍃 Truly blown away by all the support on the doors 😅

Big thanks to volunteers seasoned and new who joined us in Carryduff this afternoon. We were blown away by both the responses & the wind! And the craic was good in the Ivanhoe after 😊 We knock doors regularly to hear from constituents - drop me a line if you fancy being involved

Phenomenal response for Claire Hanna today in South Belfast and Mid Down. Really strong support for the work she's been doing and the strong voice she's providing for the people of who live here. However, every vote will count when the Tories eventually decide to call an election

Blown away 👀 by the support for Claire Hanna 😆

Good result. Join a Union folks!

Claire Hanna has been calling on the UK Government to suspend arms licences since October 2023 questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questi… how much longer & how many more deaths before they take action.

There has been a call for urgent action to address dangerous and slippery pavements in the Andersonstown Road area.

I’m off for a few quiet days over Easter so signing off early after a week including a rally for the arts, the biggest ever delegation of MPs to Belfast & working to get much needed support to help NI Football League & Accidental Theatre do what they each do best!

Policing in Northern Ireland was not fixed forever with Patten in 1999 nor with Sinn Fein's support in 2007, it is something that must be consistently worked at however, that includes all branches of policing inclusive of the National Crime Agency.

Some interesting takes;
1. Alliance best chance of a seat in East Belfast
2. Claire Hanna MP pretty safe with unique personal appeal.
3. Jim Allister potential East Antrim candidate against Sammy Wilson MP.
