Great morning- if slightly wet and windy!- in Ballymena, as Deputy Mayor of Mid and East Antrim Borough Council, Cllr Bréanainn Lyness, planted a tree in The People's Park, to mark the 10th annual Care Day. A lovely way to honour and celebrate the care experienced community across the Borough.

A wonderful Care Day morning with @kurtisdickson.bsky.social, Mayor of Lisburn & Castlereagh, alongside Ald Hazel Legge and Cllr Jonathan Craig. They welcomed us for breakfast and art activities, before moving on to Wallace Park where he planted a tree, in honour of the care experienced community.
