A NEW website that aims to help people share their experiences and provide an outlet for those suffering as a result of the conflict has been launched in Belfast.
And the site has won the support of a number of figures including former policemen and members of victims' groups.

Businessman Stephen Todd came up with the idea for the Shared Troubles site after one of his children asked: "Daddy, what were the Troubles?" as he drove his family past the Droppin' Well Inn in Ballykelly.
