For my son, shopping for shoes is hugely stressful, & we dread it. This morning Paul from Reid’s in Lisburn opened the shop at 8.15 for us, & turned an ordeal into an adventure. Niall walked out wearing his new shoes - unheard of!

Those of us in public service have a responsibility to educate ourselves on the needs of the people we serve.
As a parent of a severely disabled child I have to try to convince society that my child is not worthy of lying on a filthy disgusting public toilet floor.That she deserves safe hygienic & dignified toileting arrangements like every other person. I have to persuade ppl of this.
