Thanks to the wonderful Yasmin Z Geddis, inspirational founder of the Zachary Geddis Break the Silence Trust for facilitating the first of a new program with us this evening.
A great first session ❤️

The Bushmills Inn Hotel & Restaurant secret library was the perfect venue which Nikki Picken organised for us to use. Jane Saunders Macnaghten is funding our room hire needs this year from the Macnaghten Trust which we are most grateful for 👏❤️

The Giant's Causeway and National Trust NI. We really appreciate your support and commitment 👏👏👏

A special thanks to Michael and Gordon at The Giant's Causeway for their expert help and advice today as we delivered another order of Building Me products for sale at the visitor's centre.

Without the long-term support and partnership of the National Trust, our program would not be sustainable, particularly during these difficult times.

We look forward to seeing our products worn in and around Bushmills and across the world!

Lovely catch this afternoon made all the better with these delicious treats from Wish Upon a Cake in Bushmills. ‘Scotch eggs’ but not as you know them!
Great to be back together in person but delighted to still be able to connect with our ‘overseas member’ as well!
Happy Easter everyone!!

We had a fantastic day today at the Disco Soup Event organised by Anita Brolly at the Bushmills Hostel.

We made so much more than soup!! Pasta dishes, gratins, dahl, salsa, salads, crudites with dips, stew, toasties and much more!

Here is Building Me/Chef Tori who, with help from Una, prepared this delicious tortilla from the incredible selection of produce donated from local retailers before it would have been ‘dumped’.

A delicious dish from potatoes, onions and eggs makes for a wholesome lunch or supper idea. Easy to make and one you can adapt by adding lots of other ingredients you might have in the back of the fridge!

Anita was overwhelmed by the generosity of Bushmills Businesses as well as those who.donated around the triangle. The event could not have happened without the support of Andre and his team at Bushmills Youth Hostel Hostelling International Northern Ireland.
Thanks to everyone who popped in to support us.
