The @NIOgov's Connect Fund is supporting @CO3Updates in partnership with @ACEVO and Charity Leadership Scotland (formerly @ACOSVO) to deliver the East-West Forum for Civic Leadership. More details coming soon. @ValerieMc_CO3 @JacintaLinden

In @CO3updates we don’t have all the answers, but we are available to listen, to support and to assist if we can as third sector groups deal with the fallout of this, Please get in touch with us 🙏 #EmpoweringLeadersDrivingChange

After the @healthdpt announcement on the outcomes of the core grant process, which saw only 10% of applicants securing vital funding, we understand that many organisations are very disappointed. The announcement has left many frustrated and alarmed about where to go next.

@ballyaltonboy So very sorry to hear this sad news. Such a huge loss. Sincerest sympathy to you and your family Nicole. Sean made a huge impact championing the rights of people with disabilities and has left a powerful legacy. 🙏🏼

Hello everyone. It’s Nicole here (Sean’s wife) I wanted to let you all know that unfortunately Sean passed away yesterday, suddenly and unexpectedly. Sean was a fierce advocate for disability rights, it was his passion and his calling. He never stopped fighting for the rights of disabled people. He faced many battles in his life, and took them all on with strength and resilience I have never seen before. As many of you know and may have worked with Sean, he was intelligent, funny, warm…I could go on. Sean was also a loving and devoted husband, father, son and brother. He loved and was loved by many. As you can imagine, we are all utterly heartbroken. Keep fighting the good fight in Sean’s memory - it’s what he would have wanted. Nicole
