Launch of 'Sectarianism: The Key Facts'
CAJ
Commissioned by the Equality Coalition, independent researcher Dr Robbie McVeigh has authored a piece of research on contemporary sectarianism in Northern Ireland. The report looks at ‘institutional sectarianism’ in NI – especially where there is evidence of sectarianism in decision-making – and puts forward recommendations for state action on sectarianism.
The launch of Sectarianism: The Key Facts will open with an introduction from Equality Coalition Co-Conveners Patricia McKeown (UNISON) and Daniel Holder (CAJ). Dr McVeigh will then share some of the main findings from his report. There will also be a panel discussion on sectarianism with Seán Brady (PPR), Elaine Crory (Belfast Feminist Network & WRDA), Kat Healy (Social Justice Trust), Gráinne Ní Ghilín (An Dream Dearg), and Rachel Powell (Women’s Sector Lobbyist). Time will be set aside at the event for questions from the audience.
All welcome. Lunch will be provided at the start of the event. Please email [email protected] to register, stating any access or dietary requirements.
The Equality Coalition is co-convened by UNISON and CAJ.

Free VOLT Session: Big Help Out
Volunteer NowInformal MeetupTraining/AdviceThe Big Help Out is a UK-wide campaign designed to raise awareness of volunteering, provide opportunities for people to volunteer and make a difference in their communities. In 2024 it will take place across the weekend of 7-9 June, at the end of Volunteers’ Week. Millions volunteered during the pandemic but we’ve seen a significant decline in numbers since. The Big Help Out combines a high-profile national media campaign with a simple, digital route for people to find great opportunities to get involved. In 2023, over 7m people were inspired to take part. Join us for this free webinar which will focus on: sharing the latest campaign information, it’s key objectives and how you can use it to support your own volunteer recruitment efforts; the focus on targeting communities currently under-represented in volunteering – and how this could support to your own objectives around increasing diversity in your volunteering programme; how to use the digital platform, piggyback on the national media campaign and make the most of the alignment between The Big Help Out and Volunteers’ Week.
