Are you a family of a disabled child in the Antrim and Newtownabbey areas of Northern Ireland? You’re invited to a special celebration event later this month.
Organised by the council and hosted by UTV’s Paul Clark, “We See You” takes place at Theatre at The Mill, Newtownabbey, Wednesday 27 May 2026, 10am to 2pm.
The event aims to shine a light on the dedication, strength, and compassion of carers, recognising the vital and often unseen role you play. Parent carers are encouraged to attend along with those they care for.
The morning programme features inspiring stories, musical performances and guest speakers. These include Susan Walls, Contact Northern Ireland‘s Programme Manager, and Alma White, winner of our Contact Change Maker Award last year.
Free refreshments and a buffet lunch will be provided. Families can stop by information stands and speak to advisers from local and national organisations, including the Contact NI team.
The venue is fully accessible with an Accessoloo and sensory room. BSL interpreters will also be there on the day.
For more information about the day, see the full programme.
