Karen McLaughlin鈥檚 journey from childhood homelessness to gaining her Art Diploma

The Mark Patterson Show

Available for 28 days

Karen McLaughlin recalls her childhood experience of homelessness on the streets of London and how it inspired her to create a blanket for her end of year art exhibition themed around the importance of having a home. Dermot Ward, Marie Melaugh and Tommy Doherty from Currynierin Community Centre and Chris Kerr from the International Fund for Ireland's Peace Impact Programme share how new funding for the centre will make a real difference to the local community. And our resident GP Dr Joe McEvoy has all the latest health stories.
