We had an absolute blast today engaging with the Rural Pride Network in Dungannon. It’s important as a community of dedicated activists and volunteers for us to learn & collaborate as much as possible.❤️

£460 raised for Mid & East Antrim Pride from the Tesco Bookshelf appeal. Absolutely delighted, and a massive thank you for the generosity. Blown away. 🙏
Cheers as always, to our local Tesco community champion Ronny McFall for the ongoing support & solidarity. 🏳️🌈
