The crumbling historic Assembly Rooms in Belfast have been granted some much needed funding to help preserve and eventually restore it. The money is coming from an international organisation called the World Monuments Fund. Robbie Meredith has this story.

Asking a question today to the Minister of Finance about the need for my Social Value Act. I look forward to working with him and his Department when I bring my Bill to the Assembly.

A powerful image of young people coming together from the Shankill & Ardoyne to take pride in their community. The teenagers gathered at the roundabout where Twaddell Avenue meets the Crumlin Road earlier this week to give it a deep clean. Our young people give me great hope for the future, proving that by working together we can break down barriers & build new friendships. Well done to everyone involved! 👏🏻

Most people won't know the ins and outs of rows about govt funding, but what if I told you Action Mental Health, Employment Supports & Stepping Stones disability charity were at risk of losing jobs and supporting people because the UKG have botched this funding?
