Here's a look back at what we've been up to this week.
The amazing Niamh (she/her) and Joseph (he/him) completed the & Back challenge last weekend, raising funds for Belong To - absolute champs!
Kelsey (she/her) represented Belong To at the Workforce Development Strategy Consultation for youth workers at the Department of Education and Youth.
Kelsey (she/her) also attended the Champions Lobbying Day to speak to TDs in our constituency about the importance of Youth Work. Thank you to NYCI for the snap!
Katherine (she/her) joined the โDiplomats for Equalityโ coffee morning and briefing in ahead of this yearโs Dublin Pride.
Katherine also attended National Womenโs Council's AGM this week along with TENI and LGBT Ireland where the motion to support and advocate for the full inclusion and protection of transgender women and girls, proposed by TENI and seconded by Belong To was adopted.
Emily (she/her) accompanied the incredible Rebecca (she/her) from our Youth Advisory Panel who spoke brilliantly at Wheel's pre-budget event in Leinster House!
Kieran was invited by ESB's amazing LGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group to speak at their Pride talk - we heard lots about their continued work promoting inclusivity and equality.
Finally - we had a fabulous night at the launch of Dublin Pride 2026 in Dublin City Hall, and officially counting down the days now until 27 June!
