Eastside Awards is the brainchild of local man Jonathan McAlpin. He is Chief Executive of East Belfast Enterprise and Chair of the Eastside Awards Committee. Jonathan was instrumental in the creation of the Eastside Awards as he believes in supporting the East Belfast community and celebrating all that is good about life in East Belfast.

We met him in Templemore Baths and asked him what he loves most about East Belfast.

Here are his top five!

Parks and green spaces – East Belfast has some great parks, like Stormont, Belmont, Victoria and the Connswater Greenway. There are more, but I’m only listing the ones I use most. These are great to get out into, to have a walk and just get some head space and time out from the pressures of daily life.

Eateries – whether restaurants, cafes or takeaways we never have to venture too far from home to get a great meal! I love that we have so many great eateries in East Belfast, particularly because it means I don’t have to find a taxi home!

Transport links – having the Belfast City Airport on our doorstep is brilliant for weekends away or work trips. It’s just so good knowing that when I arrive back in the airport from wherever I’ve been, I’m only 10 minutes from home! The road links are great too and make it easy to head up to the north coast for a break or down south to see family.

Schools – We’re blessed with great schools in East Belfast and my kids have been to three of the best – Greenwood, Strandtown and Grosvenor. The teachers that we’ve met over the years have been brilliant professionals and we have two really happy children, who look forward to going to school and will remember the school days with fondness.

Vibrancy and Spirit – I love living in a place with so much proud history and heritage and a “can do” spirit, which I still feel from the people of East Belfast today. People I meet are generally kind, considerate and caring of their community and those are the values I want for my children and the sort of society that I want them to grow up in.

There’s always a bit of good banter and craic to be had in East Belfast!
