Antrim Civic Centre, Mossley Mill and Ballyclare Town Hall will be lit up pink to show the council’s support to this year’s campaign which aims to raise awareness of the change in law on organ donation, to encourage people to make and record a decision about organ donation and to share that with their families and friends.

Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, Cllr Jim Montgomery is lending his support for the campaign.

The UUP representative said: “This year has been unprecedented in its challenges for many organisations, but I hope that by lighting up our buildings we can make sure as many people as possible understand the life-saving power of organ donation and understand the choices they can make.”
