Jigs and Reels

The Glenavon House Hotel staff in association with Carol Doey and Jimmy Cowan hosted Dance Extravaganza with all proceeds going to the Niamh Louise Foundation. An excellent night’s entertainment was had both by the participants and the crowd who really enjoyed the performances.  A grand total of £5800 was raised.

This started off as the annual staff night out and when the feelers went out to see if anyone was interested in participating in a Jigs and Reels event with the proceeds going to charity there was loads of support.  The show created good team building for the hotel staff with all staff involved either through dancing, organising the event, selling tickets or generating support for the event.  “Can’t wait to next year”, “it was a great way to get to know staff from other departments”, “mighty craic and loved the fun”, “will definitely dance next year” were just some of the comments from those involved.

Draperstown Fundraisers

A brilliant night held on Friday the 28th of January in the Cellar Bar, Draperstown brought an incredible amount of money to the organisation, ‘Niamh Louise Foundation’. All from the Support of The Brady family, and the Draperstown community, who organised and carried out the event.

The Niamh Louise Foundation is an organisation in the Tyrone, Armagh and Mid Ulster areas which provide mental health support through stages of prevention, intervention and postvention of suicide. It also addresses the need for the community to be aware of the realities that suicide brings and how to recognise the signs of suicide.

With the outstanding response from the crowd, the monies raised on the night will go towards training local people in ASIST and Mental Health First Aid in the Draperstown area. Cathy Hanna, manager of the Niamh Louise Foundation said “we would like to thank the community for the support they have given and energy throughout the night. This has raised awareness on all services available for people affected by suicide, and is appreciated. Many thanks to the brave men who stepped up to the challenge and for everyone’s enjoyment, went through the pain of getting chest waxing and 10 years worth of hair, cut from ones head. Also, the assistance from the Cellar Bar, who provided facilities for the night and the bands that played.”
