Yesterday, our community relations officer, Nathan, a SSUNI delegate, Jack and our president, Connie were in Stormont for an Education Committee Stakeholder event. The event focused on socioeconomic deprivation and educational underachievement as it impacts boys. It was a very insightful and interesting evening getting to hear from representatives from Ulster University, Belfast Boys Model and Streetbeat.

Our Vice President, Elodie Bloomer has worked with Robbie Butler at various times since 2023 on physical and mental health issues affecting young people as well as on health inequality. His appointment as Health Minister is incredibly hopeful for the future health prospects of young people in Northern Ireland. Elodie, in April this year, addressed the Health Committee in Stormont on the importance of entwining health and education on a curriculum basis so that young people can be educated and supported on mental and physical health issues from the very start of school to build lifelong health protections. She met today with Robbie as he celebrated ten years of his service as an MLA with friends, family and young people.
