Members of the Words Alive creative writing group met Belfast City Council’s Lord Mayor Councillor Kate Nicholl. The Lord Mayor met the group further to opening the Words Alive exhibition “Your Story and Mine” at Ormeau Road Library. This was an opportunity for Words Alive to highlight the importance of the stories of our older people, and for the Lord Mayor to celebrate the achievements of Words Alive in creating such a useful and important record.
