On International Volunteers Day we would like to say a huge thank you to all of our Federation Representatives. Serving police officers, who, over and above their core policing duties have volunteered to represent and support their colleagues. Raising issues of concern around health & safety, wellbeing and welfare, their role is crucial for both PFNI and PSNI. Sometimes dealing with highly emotive issues and providing a listening ear, and quite often done in their own time. Thank you for all that you do on behalf of our members. #LETTHEMPROTECT #WEAREYOU

Great evening celebrating the launch of UlsterScots poetry jukebox at the Scottish poetry library last night

What an epic event at the Scottish Poetry Library @ByLeavesWeLive. So grateful to @thelinenhall and all the organisers for the opportunity to share a stage with Kathleen Jamie, Peter Mackay, Steve Dornan and Maria McManus. Thanks also for your hospitality Keven & Asif.

We had a wonderful time last night at the Scottish Poetry Library in Edinburgh launching the Poetry Jukebox and our 'Fragments of Scotch Poetry' curation. We celebrated the rich connectedness of Scotland and Ulster in a wide-ranging discussion about poetry, culture and language, and with readings by some of the poets in the curation. We would like to thank the @ByLeavesWeLive, the poets who came along to support the event, and all the poets who contributed to this curation. Thanks also to the co-curators of the jukebox, Maria McManus and Professor Frank Ferguson. A special thank you to the @CommunitiesNI for their generous financial support for this project and to @poetryireland and the @dfatirl whose support enabled us to take the jukebox to Edinburgh.
