Team members Muriel and Elaine recently attended the MEA Mayor’s Breakfast during the International Women’s Day celebrations. It was a chance to raise awareness of the amazing work of the NICH and give a little insight into why we volunteer and what’s inspires us. It was a fantastic opportunity to chat with other women and share journeys, while inspiring each other and hopefully others. 

Our team duo also attended the MEA Mayor’s Charity Dinner on Saturday 14th March representing the NI Children’s Hospice, one of the Mayors chosen charities of the year. It was an exciting opportunity to raise more awareness of the NICH and their important work. A massive thank you to Mayor Jackson Minford for his continued support and choosing this charity alongside Chest, Heart and Stroke and Kidney Care UK.
