Had such a great time today with Lisburn YMCA's Women in Mind group. Women in Mind is a mental health support group for woman who have experienced poor mental health. It was so inspiring hearing about all the great work they are doing and all the activities the group has been involved with 💛

I always try to go simple and straightforward for my New Years Resolutions. Mine this year is to read more. Finished only two books last year; Pax: War and Peace in Rome's Golden Age by Tom Holland & The Woman in Me by Britney Spears. Very clearly demonstrating my wide range of interests 😂

Had the pleasure of attending the launch of Radio Lisburn Live on Saturday. Once again Lisburn will have its own community radio station, thanks to the hard work and passion of Johnny Glover and his son, Ben! 📻 I want to wish them all the very best with this exciting venture!

It’s shameful that other parties have voted against Alliance’s plan to increase penalties for polluters. Our proposal would’ve reversed the DUP’s cap on cross-compliance penalties. Only Alliance is committed to protecting our environment and Lough Neagh.

Had the pleasure of hosting a reception last night for Lisburn's winners in the High Street Hero Awards. As Mayor I get to see first hand the incredible local businesses we have within Lisburn & Castlereagh including those on our high street. (1/3)

Naomi Long MLA @naomilong.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

If we are serious about tackling violence against women and girls, then we need to raise the bar regarding interactions between Ministers and MLAs. Aggressive interaction between men in power and female MLAs is part of a continuum of unacceptable behaviour. It starts with us. #EVAWG

Lovely to be in Hillsborough Castle this morning as it hosts @avea_ireland. An association of over 120 visitor/tourism attractions on the island of Ireland, both large and small. It was great to have the opportunity to speak to attendees about our flagship project, Destination Royal Hillsborough
