Fascinating book by David Gallagher #Methodism #peacemaking . Especially interested in the role of Rev John Stewart, Woodvale Methodist & NILP in 1970’s discussions with UVF. Ahead of his time …

Springboard hosted a Good Relations roundtable at Queen’s University, uniting youth workers, academics, and young people to explore community cohesion, peacebuilding, and the impact of youth work across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

It’s official! We have achieved #CivicUniversity status.
This new status recognises our collaborations with community partners and our commitment to keeping #Belfast and #NorthernIreland at the heart of everything we do.
The Civic University Network is a group of #HigherEducation bodies across the UK that are driving social, economic and environmental change in the places they call home.
To celebrate officially joining the network and publishing our formal #Civic Agreement, we hosted a showcase event which highlighted specific projects that are having a positive impact in local communities.
“Since 1845 Queen’s has embraced its civic responsibilities, co designing projects that tackle the most complex societal challenges. Without strong relationships with our partners, this milestone of achieving formal Civic University status simply wouldn’t have been possible.
“This new status recognises the ways our University works hand in hand with communities and partners to drive positive change across Belfast and beyond.” (Professor Sir Ian Greer, @QUBVChancellor)

We've been unlocking the past in Woodvale Park in our latest community #archaeology dig.
This time the team have been joined by pupils from eight #Belfast schools who have helped to unearth the remains of a 19th century house!
Very little is known about Woodvale House, which was the residence of Reverend Octavius Glover, but records show that the land was taken over by Belfast Corporation in 1888 to create what is now Woodvale Park.
You can find out more about the excavation here: ow.ly/hUHF50X0HpI

As @PlasticFreeJuly comes to a close we want to encourage everyone to set yourself the "Take One" challenge. Next time you're out in the Belfast Hills why not “Take One” piece of litter to the nearest bin? Imagine the difference we would make through one small collective action!

. @springboardopp proudly launched the Journeys Programme earlier this year, with a PEACEPLUS investment of €8.3m.
The transformative programme supports young people from diverse communities across Greater Belfast, Greater Limavady, Derry/Londonderry, and Monaghan/Cavan. It will enable participants to realise their potential and become active contributors to building a shared, cohesive and better-connected society.
Steph O’Rourke, Executive Director Springboard Opportunities, said: "The Journeys programme represents a significant opportunity to bring young people together to realise their potential and become changemakers in building a shared, united, and more connected society. We are proud to lead this initiative which places young people at its heart and will make a lasting positive difference to them and our society.”

Wildflowers have long held symbolism and are steeped in folklore. Here is just a small snapshot of the wildflowers we grow in our Native Tree and Wildflower Nursery and their associated folklore.

I have long ago stopped being surprised by problems to do with the NHS in NI—but this stopped me in my tracks.
