Bravo Belfast City Council. I'm at the autumn fair in @botanicgardenssa.bsky.social and it's brilliant. Informative, interactive and fun for children. Most importantly it's free for all to come along learn about different ways to keep this place clean, recycle.

Looking forward to being at the #RiseAgainstPoverty conference for @savethechildrenni.bsky.social at the Dunadry Hotel today. Keen to hear what solutions can make a difference to families and children here. First step for me is a fully resourced, effective antipoverty strategy.
