Tedx at @QUBelfast presented the tough challenge of trying to distil the breadth of what Turnaround is about into a short speech. I hope I did justice to the fantastic work that our growing community of committed partners, volunteers and staff are doing to enable new futures!

After a long break, I've been inspired to dust off my running shoes for the Belfast Marathon Relay. The inspiration comes from people working to overcome barriers on their journeys out of the justice system. Please join me in supporting them!
Want to make a difference? A team from The Turnaround Project will be running the Belfast Marathon to raise funds for a new Turnaround Hub. Please support the team by making a donation at donate.biggive.org/campaign/… Thanks for your support!
