You have the right to be impolite when it comes to fraud.

If someone asks for your money or personal information, take your time to check it's real.

It's okay to hang up, shut the door, close the email or simply say “No". Any genuine person or organisation won't mind.

"Girls Like That" is an urgent and explosive play that explores the pressures on young people today in the wake of advancing technology.

Following the performance, there will be a Q&A session with a panel including PSNI, Women's Aid, and YMCA.

Suitable for those ages 14 +.

Multi-Agency Support Hub
Community and Voluntary Sector: Networking and Engagement Event

📅 Tuesday 24 November 2026
⏰ 2pm - 4.30pm
📍 Clandeboye Lodge Hotel

This event is open to community and voluntary groups in Ards and North Down Borough Council area who support individuals in need.

The Multi-Agency Support Hub is about different statutory agencies coming together, working together and sharing information to work with and help people who are vulnerable and in need in our communities.

Sometimes people experience difficult situations which impact on their safety, physical health or mental health. When an individual in need agrees to be part of the Multi-Agency Support Hub, it means that information can be shared between agencies; the person doesn't have to tell their story over and over again to different agencies, and representatives can work together to find ways to improve the situation.

Statutory agencies can't do it all on their own, and we know there are so many community and voluntary sector organisations across our Borough who provide wonderful support for individuals in a time of need.

We would love to hear from you, to find out more about what you do, and discover ways that we could work with you, support you in the work you do, and connect the right people up to your services.

Please join us for a session of sharing, discussing, and exploring ways in which we can work together to better support people in need in our Borough.

To confirm attendance, please email [email protected].
Light refreshments provided, please advise of any dietary requirements.
