We echo the sentiment of the Mary Ann McCracken Foundation and Belfast Charitable Society, the other funders of this fantastic project. The North Belfast Digital Hub has exceeded our expectations, and it was fantastic to hear about its future aspirational plans yesterday.
Delighted to fund, along with @JKFoundationNI and @cliftonbelfast , the North Belfast Digital Hub, and hear more about its plans to evolve into an Educational Enrichment Centre to equip young people with digital, creative & human skills and tackling disadvantage and skills gap.
