To spread some festive cheer, the Ancestors Motorcycle Club visited the Ulster Hospital to deliver toys and gifts to the Paediatric Unit.

The club also raised an incredible £800 which will go towards play materials and other resources to help make a child’s hospital stay more positive and less stressful.

The Annual Christmas bike run was a welcome festive sight on Sunday December 11.

Unhampered by the weather conditions, the members of the club were greeted by staff from the Children’s Unit and were provided with some warm soup and refreshments to say thank you for their generous donation of toys and money to the Unit.
