Having been in Belfast for most this week & needing to be in Dublin on Monday & Tuesday I grabbed the opportunity to spend the weekend with exploring a bit of Northern Ireland with my amazing friend, Deirdre. It’s been a long time coming & a treat to have quality time together

Thank you for your ‘gentle persuasion’ in 2016-17 that encouraged us to step out of our comfort zone & for all you do & have done since 🙏❤️

More than one in three children in poverty as UK deprivation hits record high Exclusive: Study finds almost quarter of UK population living in poverty, reaching the highest level this century

This should come as a surprise to no-one.
Tomorrow is international Children’s Day when we promise our children to protect their rights. Instead we will giving them excuses as to why so many are hungry and cold.
Governments can choose to end child poverty.

1970-I was hospitalised from birth until I was 7 weeks old with little/no visiting. My parents then got a letter to say ‘your daughter is ready for collection’.
2006-my daughter was placed in SCBU at birth. I was able to be at her side & stay down the corridor until she got home. Such a difference!
