On Thursday, we welcomed Kevin Higgins, Head of Policy and Matt Cole, Information Officer at Advice NI, to our quarterly staff/volunteer meeting.
Their attendance highlighted the vital collaboration between regional policy leaders and local advice centres.

During the session, Kevin and Matt shared expert insights on critical social security changes and strategic welfare reform mitigations. This aligned perfectly with CAAND’s enduring commitment to raising social policy issues, ensuring that grassroots challenges directly inform regional decision-making.

By highlighting ongoing campaigns, the meeting provided CAAND staff with an invaluable roadmap to navigate the cost-of-living crisis, ensuring local advisers remain equipped to deliver frontline support.

Delighted to join Community Advice Ards & North Down yesterday to learn more about the incredible work they do across our borough.

It was great to meet Derek McGregor and the team and hear first-hand about the thousands of people they support every year.

Community Advice can help with such a huge range of issues — from debt and budgeting to housing, employment, consumer problems, legal issues, appeals and tribunals and much more.

What really came across yesterday was just how passionate the team are about helping people. Sometimes people simply don’t know where to turn when they find themselves facing a difficult situation, and having somewhere local, free and confidential to get advice can make a huge difference.

Derek did a brilliant job of taking me through the work of the organisation and the impact they are having right across Ards and North Down. It was lovely to meet him and the wider team and see the commitment they have to supporting people in our community.

A really educational and worthwhile visit — and a reminder of just how many organisations are doing important work quietly, every day, across our borough.

Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome Cllr. Craig Blaney, The Mayor of Ards and North Down to our Bangor Office. It wa...
