Consultation has concluded

Have you got a good news story to tell about how your community has been pulling together during the Covid-19 pandemic?

Time and again people have commented that one of Belfast's greatest strengths is its people and its sense of community.

We have been heartened by the resilience, community spirit, compassion, kindness and friendships that have shone through as people have pulled together across the city. We want to build on these strengths by capturing your stories and experiences.
