Thanks so much for listening!

Welcome to Solas! In this episode, I am joined by the wonderful Louise and we are talking about poverty, food banks and her work with The Larder in Belfast.

If you enjoyed the previous episode 'The Poor Are Not Helpless' with Moses Kamau, Louise brings us a new perspective, explaining the situation of poverty in our local areas in Northern Ireland.

I hope and pray that this episode educates, entertains and encourages you to go out and make a difference.

Welcome to Solas! In this episode, I am joined by the incredible Sue Divin! (@suedivin) Her book 'Guard Your Heart' was published last year and when I read it, I was so enlightened with a newfound perspective on our society.

Sue mainly works in peace, conflict and reconciliation, aiming to educate and work with people to bring together divided communities. In this episode, Sue gives us practical advice on how we as young people can break the cycle and move our society forward. I hope and pray that episode educates, entertains and encourages you to go out and make a difference,

Welcome to Solas! Thank you for your patience. It has been a busy few months but we are back with an amazing episode. This week I am talking to Catherine and Jess from Candles For Conscent (@candlesforconscent) - a candle brand driven by social impact. All of the profits go towards funding vital consent education in Northern Ireland. Each candle is made with soy wax, is vegan friendly and handmade by the girls in Antrim. My dad bought me one of their candles as a gift and it smells amazing! I hope and pray that this episode educates, entertains and encourages you to go out and make a difference. Tune in for Part 2 next Sunday 31st October at 6pm BST!
