πŸ₯πŸ‘©β€βš•οΈ Local MLA Visit to Support Healthcare Campaign πŸ₯πŸ‘¨β€βš•οΈ

During our previous Right's Day children explored Article 24, which highlights that all children have the right to healthcare. We then launched a campaign to improve children's healthcare both on a local and global level. Children created posters and went on protest rallies to raise awareness of current issues effecting children accessing effective healthcare. They also wrote letters and created PowerPoint presentations and animations to raise their concerns to local MLA's and world leaders. We were then very lucky to have a visit from Colin McGrath SDLP, whom many of the children wrote to. The children shared their work with him and then put him in the hot seat by asking him lots of tough questions about Northern Ireland's healthcare for children and the effect the cost of living crisis is having on children's health. The children very much enjoyed the chance to share their learning with Colin McGrath and were left assured that he would continue to raise and act on the concerns and suggestions they had made to ensure that children's right to health is upheld. Thank you to Colin for taking the time to come and meet with the children and be part of our campaign.
