Ep 487 – A Fundraising Evening to Remember Nicola Burke & St Brigid’s Arms, Untold Stories of Irish Women

In Part One, we remember Nicola Burke, a much-loved young mother of two young children, at a charity fundraising event held at St Joseph’s Parish Centre in Luton in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. Through heartfelt conversations with Nicola’s sister and husband, we reflect on her life, the memories she leaves behind, and the love that continues to surround her family. It is a moving tribute that highlights the importance of family, community, and coming together to support a worthy cause.

In Part Two, we travel to the Victoria Gallery & Museum in Liverpool to explore St Brigid’s Arms, an art exhibition that brings to light the untold stories of Irish women. Through art and storytelling, the exhibition explores women’s experiences, identities, and contributions, giving a voice to stories that have too often remained unheard. It is a thought-provoking celebration of Irish women’s lives, history, and cultural heritage.
