In the last three years at Borderlands we have brought together conversations with victims and ex-combatants from different sides. It was a huge privilege last night to host Jo Berry CBE and Pat Magee last night at the Black Box.

I am thrilled to be speaking with Pat Magee on Friday the 16th of May in London. Still tickets left, I will talk about what happens when we demonise people, that’s how Pat could kill my Dad. Seeing humanity in others is way to create peace. www.eventbrite.ie/e/jo-berry-a...

Such moving feedback from Limavady. Youth Worker said do you know that young person never speaks up and we were shocked”
The young person said “ the workshop was amazing and the reason why I opened up was because I could relate to Jo and I just felt it was safe to speak up”
This is why I do my work

I am so happy today Martyn’s Law got Royal Assent! I am privileged to be Figen’s friend and with my role at Survivors Against Terror play a small part. She is so inspirational!
Legislation aimed at preventing and reducing the harm of terror attacks at events venues has been given Royal Assent. We congratulate @FigenMurray who inspires us and shows us what one grieving mother can do. Thank you Figen for making our world safer.

So excited about this! At last!!
We welcome the announcement from the Minister of State for Security, Dan Jarvis, that the UK will consult on a national Memorial Day for victims of terrorism and create a new support hub. These have been key campaigns for us and today is a huge step forward. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

I am excited to be speaking in London at the Empathy Week event. I will share my story of moving from having an enemy to finding a place of empathy, and how we can move from hate and demonisation to one of understanding and seeing each other's humanity. #Empathy

Exceptional inspirational morning with young people in Lurgen, who asked me such deep thoughtful questions. Then they worked on their vision for a more just peaceful world, sharing their ideas with such wisdom and intelligence. The feedback was profound and touched me deeply.
