Fundraising walk for mental health charity The Olive Branch to set off from Ireland's highest pub
A mental health charity with outlets in Coleraine, Ballymena and Magherafelt is organising a unique fundraising walk near Ireland’s highest pub.
The Olive Branch is calling all keen walkers to join them on Sunday, March 1, at 9am, meeting at the car park of the Ponderosa Bar and Grill on the Glenshane Road outside Dungiven.
A fundraising walk will then set off to The Priest's Chair, at the Glenshane Forest Track, which is a Mass Rock. This superb and educational hike to the historic Mass rock will be rocky in places under foot, but very rewarding at the end.
The distance is 6.7 miles and is suitable for anyone with moderate level fitness. All participants are then invited to the Ponderosa to enjoy complimentary Irish Stew and fresh wheaten bread.
Please dress to suit the weather.
A spokesperson for the Olive Branch said: “We are aiming for 60 participants, we would really appreciate your support!
"We ask every participant to raise £100 (minimum) through sponsorship sheets, available on request or from our three centres in Magherafelt, Coleraine and Ballymena.”
The Olive Branch offers FREE face-to-face counselling across their three offices. To engage with our service, just call the mobile number 07561 Founded in November 2017 by Alan Mulholland and Leoné Paul, the Olive Branch came about because Ala n wanted to give anybody suffering with their mental health free of charge mental health counselling.
"No appointments necessary and you do not have to be referred by a doctor. We believe that delivering the help exactly at the point when needed is most effective. Everybody is welcome.”
