SF to launch 'charter for unionist engagement'

Sinn Féin is due to launch its latest initiative today for reaching out to the unionist community.

The party has been engaging in "outreach" work with unionists for some time, holding a series of talks with Protestant clergymen.

It recently appointed Martin Anderson, a former republican prisoner and Assembly member, to head the project.

Several loyalist and unionist figures are expected to be present this afternoon when the party launches its new "charter for unionist engagement" at Stormont.
