Mr Tony Macaulay
Personal Statement: Tony Macaulay grew up at the top of the Shankill Road in Belfast at the start of thirty-five years of ‘The Troubles’ in Northern Ireland. This experience has shaped his life. He has spent the past 30 years working to build peace and reconciliation at home and abroad, working with hundreds of youth and community groups to break down barriers of mistrust, hatred and division and today he supports and mentors many organisations and communities who are committed to creating positive social change. Tony is a writer and broadcaster. In the 1990s he was a presenter on Downtown Radio and since 2000 he has been a regular contributor to BBC Radio Ulster. His memoir ‘Paperboy’, published by HarperCollins November 2011 is his first book.
