Well done to our colleague Ben Mallon on his recent graduation from the Centre for Democracy and Peace Building's Fellowship Programme.

Ben has been working towards his Fellowship for a number of months and joined his fellow classmates at a ceremony at Hillsborough Castle last week.

The Fellowship programme is delivered by the Centre for Democracy and Peace Building, working with key stakeholders and facilitators from across the business sector and academic institutions to support the peace process, strengthen democracy and navigate through complexity.

This year’s cohort saw 25 individuals engage with leading policymakers, business leaders, and public figures, equipping each Fellow with a renewed ability to tackle some of the most pressing social, political, and economic issues in Northern Ireland.

Congratulations Ben!

MCE is running the Belfast Marathon on Sunday 30th April 2023. We've entered two relay teams and will be fundraising for Air Ambulance Northern Ireland. Our training has started, and our teams are feeling (fairly) confident!

Air Ambulance Northern Ireland is a service we all hope we will never need - on average the Air Ambulance is needed by two people in urgent need every day, yet the service is funded entirely by charitable donations.

We'd love it if you could support our fundraising - your donation will contribute to one of Air Ambulance's many costs – it might be fuel, a flight suit, specialist hangar equipment, a flight helmet or helicopter rental and insurance - all donations gratefully received.

You can donate via our Just Giving page - https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/mcecomms
