A new mural and community garden have been unveiled in North Belfast.

Teenagers from Ardoyne Youth Club were behind the project at the corner of Berwick Road and Brompton Park.

The garden was officially opened by special guests, Belfast Lord Mayor John Finucane and comedian and actor Tim McGarry on Tuesday night.

It was the culmination of hard work from teenagers from the area over the last three months.

Youth worker Stephen Konrad told Belfast Live of his pride at the project.

He said: “Over the last three months young people have been working on a project around positive mental health and what we can do to make a positive impact within the community.

"Young people decided to come up with a garden of hope and a positive mental health mural. It was a lot of hard work getting things organised.

“We wanted to put on a day that could bring people together.

“The garden and mural have come out top class. You can see how many people came out tonight and that’s what community spirit is all about, being together.”

The mural reads: "I believe that the basic attribute to mankind is to look after each other.. be strong enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it."

Sean Harrison, 15, was one of those involved.

He said: “We’ve been working hard on the mural over the last couple of months, designing it, thinking what we could put on it.

“A lot of hard work went it - a group of 15 or 16-year-olds designing a mural like this is just mad.”
