A number of groups in Belfast are teaming up for an appeal to help women in need.
The North Belfast Interface Network are collaborating with several women's centres in the North of the city, as well as Women's Aid, to work on the Love Grace Handbag Appeal.
The appeal is in memory of Grace Millane, who was travelling in New Zealand in 2018 when she was murdered by a man she met on Tinder.

The Love Grace Handbag Appeal was set up by Grace's family and friends as a legacy in her name, to help women that have been affected by domestic violence.
Handbags can be donated with some toiletries inside, in order to help women who are in need and having to quickly flee.
Those wishing to make donations can bring items including a handbag and toiletries to a number of drop-off points throughout North Belfast, with all donations being collected by Women's Aid on Tuesday, March 8, to mark International Women's Day.
A spokesperson for the North Belfast Interface Network said: "For International Women's Day we are collaborating with several women's centres in North Belfast and Women's Aid to work on the Love Grace Handbag Appeal.
"The idea is you donate a handbag that has some toiletries in it for women in need. Sometimes if they have to flee or they're in crisis they'll not have much."
Drop off points:
- The Cabin, 3 Twaddell Avenue, BT14 3LE
- LSCA (Lower Shankill Community Association), 2A Glentilt Street, BT13 1GF
- Marrowbone Community Hub, Teach Eilis, 8-10 Ardilea Street, BT14 7DG
