I proudly led the Belfast Pride march last year, as the first openly gay Lord Mayor of Belfast.
I’m a seasoned rights campaigner, who has been at the forefront of every campaign.
No one, will dictate to me whether I can or can’t march in a pride march.

When we partnered up with PBNI to help bring Annadale Allotments back to its former glory I don’t think anyone could have imagined the transformation.
Through their work they’ve opened up more allotment space and transformed the space, so impressed with all their work!
Thank you!
