Think of Belfast City Airport and driving lessons don’t immediately spring to mind. But all that is about to change for a group of young carers
They’ve just been awarded over £5,000 from the George Best Belfast City Airport Community Fund. The five are members of the charity Action for Children Northern Ireland and the funds will be spent on helping them learn to drive.
