We’re pretty excited to announce that we’ve taken on a room of our own in #Gipton, above the Methodist Church in the heart of the community (well three rooms actually...) Come see us soon #Leeds!
With the luxury of time I spent three days at the 'Shared Heritage' festival organised by @LivingLegacies3 in #Belfast: a diverse, inspiring and generous event with a rich programme, great organisation and the added value of Irish/Northern Irish historical sensibilities.

A wonderful evening last night. After six years of incredibly hard work last night saw the launch of the Centre for WW1 Internment at Knockaloe. In Patrick Old School Rooms and the former courthouse for Knockaloe Camp the vision of a few has become a reality to many.
