Sun shining today as the Mayor of Ards North Down Craig Blaney, with friends and family of the late great Gina Murray opened Gina's Rest at Kilcooley Square in memory of a much missed friend and colleague.

We were delighted to welcome Gráinne Long, Permanent Secretary of the Department for Communities, to 1 Kilcooley Square today. We had valuable discussions on Neighbourhood Renewal programme, the impact of the cost of living and food poverty, and how we can continue supporting women, children and families across our region with the help of her Department. Thank you @StephenDunneMLA for facilitating this visit. We appreciate the time given to listen to the work of our centre and the needs of local women, children and families. @CommunitiesNI #KilcooleyWomensCentre #DepartmentForCommunities #NeighbourhoodRenewal #CommunitySupport #ArdsAndNorthDown
