🚀 Final Workshop Session at #BuildingSolidarity! 🚀 We’ve broken into groups for the last session before lunch, diving into key insights from the past two days. 💡💬 We're tackling big questions: 🔹 Are current policies effective in addressing racism & Islamophobia in NI? 🔹 What policy changes are most urgently needed? 🔹 How can the VCSE sector amplify the voices of marginalised communities? 🔹 What role do we play in preventing violent extremism? #Inclusion #VCSE #AntiRacism #StrongerTogether

We're almost half way through our Building Solidarity Conference with @NICVA, @SCI_Belfast and @africafest2. Our Director of Policy and Public Affairs, John O'Doherty kicked things off with an introduction and our colleague Andrew McCormick stepped in to speak to our delegates in his capacity of Deputy Lord Mayor of Belfast. Thanks to Daniel Holder, @CAJNi, Takura Makoni, @InfoAcsoni, Livingstone Thompson PHD and Dr Nazia Latif, Right Practice for speaking on our first panel - UK/ Northern Ireland Policy Context and to our Session Chair, Lori Gatsi-Barnett. Such impactful conversations so far at this important conference today at Belfast Castle. #BuildingSolidarity #CFNI

What a fantastic first day as an Executive Committee Member of @NICVA! Learned so much from inspiring people and am excited to contribute to their vital work supporting the voluntary and community sector. @belfastcc @BLieutenancy @NI_CRC @CommunitiesNI @CFNIreland @niexecutive
