There's going to be a change in where you find your Eco-Schools updates from now on. We have changed the name of our parent organisation to Live Here Love Here, and we are retiring Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful. But everything else will be exactly the same!

Unfortunately, our idea to merge our channels wasn't possible,😧 so to help us bring everything together in one place we will be closing this Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful/Eco-Schools Northern Ireland Facebook and moving all our messaging to Live Here Love Here. 👈
