The latest episode of Community Soapbox is a Youth Ambassador Takeover special!

As we celebrate #childrensmentalhealthweek, our Youth Ambassadors Sarah & Olena stepped up to interview their guest of choice, Derry City footballer Ciaron Harkin. The girls did their research, planned their questions, & conducted the interview brilliantly.

Sarah & Olena explored Ciaron's injury setbacks; his efforts to get back playing the sport he loves; and how he juggles his life as a footballer and as a daddy. If you are a Derry City fan, we hope you enjoy this episode.

"Ability NOT disability."

The team were joined today by Sinead Lynch, co-founder of Ruby's Fitness. We have to admit, this episode was emotional.

Listening to Sinead's passion for working with people to achieve their fitness and well-being goals, taking into account their ability, not disability, was awe-inspiring. A huge thanks to Sinead for sharing her personal story with us and telling our listeners how with her co-founder Bronagh Mc Namara, Ruby's Fitness is making a positive difference in people's lives.

"Just take it, one feed at a time."

On this episode of Community Soapbox, we welcomed Noella & Sinead from North West BAPS to discuss all things related to breastfeeding. Did you know we have some of the lowest figures for breastfeeding in the world?

The girls share their experiences of breastfeeding and their mission to spread awareness and information for mums, particularly in the North West.
