Tomorrow, we’ll be visiting Antrim Primary School and St Comgall’s Primary. We’ll also be visiting Antrim’s re:store shop, a new kind of charity shop who aim “with the support of local councils…to redirect furniture and white goods from the waste stream, and sell them through EBM (East Belfast Mission)’s Social Enterprise Project.”
After lunch, you’ll be able to see us putting together and screening the film in the town centre.
