Tedx at @QUBelfast presented the tough challenge of trying to distil the breadth of what Turnaround is about into a short speech. I hope I did justice to the fantastic work that our growing community of committed partners, volunteers and staff are doing to enable new futures!
You can watch the Directors TEDx at Queens University: Hope and Opportunity: A Societal Challenge.🎤 youtu.be/bKZ3AtXmaZI
Christmas shopping, anyone? This new clothing brand is donating 10% of all turnover for the first 1000 pieces sold to Turnaround! Customers are loving the social purpose behind the brand, and the quality of design and material. Don't miss out on the start of something special!
Big Loop Bikes pop-up kids' bike sale is on today and tomorrow at 2 Royal Avenue, Belfast.
Bikes from as little as £40. Buy one for someone in your own family, or buy and Big Loop will donate to a family in need!
After a long break, I've been inspired to dust off my running shoes for the Belfast Marathon Relay. The inspiration comes from people working to overcome barriers on their journeys out of the justice system. Please join me in supporting them!
Want to make a difference? A team from The Turnaround Project will be running the Belfast Marathon to raise funds for a new Turnaround Hub. Please support the team by making a donation at donate.biggive.org/campaign/…
Thanks for your support!
