What a day to open the new Wellbeing Garden at the Springvale Learning Centre in West Belfast today. β˜€οΈ

This fantastic space was created by an inspiring group of young people for both learners and the wider community to use and enjoy.

Well done everyone!

I was really delighted to be asked to go on and speak to the guys at the People's Podcast today. πŸŽ™

This is a great resource now in the community led by young people and getting the message out there about a lot of the positive things happening around us.

Spoke at the anti-racism rally today in Belfast to send a strong message to those spreading hate that they will never win.

There can be no place for right-wing fascists in our city. We will continue to stand up to them and counter their every move.

Paul Doherty speaking at event with text outlining opposition to UK govt benefit cuts.

This week, I have proposed a motion strongly opposing the planned cuts to PIP which will have a devastating impact on many living with disabilities throughout our communities.

We need to continue to stand up and speak out to support vulnerable people who deserve to live their lives with dignity.

Grateful for the chance to speak with upper sixth students at Rathmore about poverty, social justice and how they can play a part in helping build a fairer society for all.

Wishing them all the best in the months ahead as they approach A-Levels and the next steps on their journey.

More than a meal An independent evaluation of universal primary free school meals for children in London.

NEW research finds Sadiq Khan's Free School Meals for All have improved family finances, had a positive effect on physical & mental health, and strengthened school communities. @paul-doherty.bsky.social & I have been campaigning with the SDLP to introduce this in NI. @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social

Very grateful to get the opportunity to speak with St Dominic’s students today about community-led social action in West Belfast and how they can get involved in making a difference and creating change where they live.

Look forward to linking in with this fantastic group again soon.

Had a warm welcome when visiting the Iskcon Belfast Krishna Temple in Dunmurry following them experiencing some shocking ASB in the area.

Solidarity and support from the surrounding community and efforts to ensure this does not happen again.
