The initiative, operated through nine Sure Start Centres in Belfast, continues to make a profound difference in the lives of children and families across the city.
James Hagan, Chair and Founder of Hagan Homes, said: “When we first started working with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in 2020, we were inspired by the pioneering work of Brenda McMullen, who set up the first Imagination Library in Northern Ireland at Cliftonville Integrated Primary School. It has been our privilege to continue what she started and to expand the reach of this wonderful initiative.
East Belfast Sure Start Co-ordinator, Tracey Ripley-McElvogue, echoed the importance of the programme, stating, “To celebrate the occasion, Hagan Homes hosted a special storytelling event with East Belfast Sure Start parents and children at Carew Family Centre in East Belfast. The Hagan Homes team were delighted to meet some of the children and their parents at the event.”
