They crossed peace barriers that split one community from another, something that resonates all too well with young people from NI.

“If I could talk to people in power about mental health, I would tell them to listen to what people actually want instead of telling us what we need.” - a quote from a @springboardopps.bsky.social Youth Ambassador 💙

If you could talk to people in power, what would you tell them? 🤔

Our Directions group had an informative visit to the Crumlin Road Gaol today. One of the group commented, "It's hard to face this part of our history sometimes, but after today I do feel like it's important to acknowledge. It wasn't that long ago this gaol was in use."
