Charity cheque at Bridge Bar
IN the summer, customers of the Bridge Bar and residents from Dunloy and the surrounding area joined together in a fun packed day of activities, to raise much needed funds for local charities, including mental health organisation, Aware Defeat Depression.
Head of Fundraising for Aware Alison Smyth collected £2,750 from Alain Campbell, Bar Manager, and said: “We are delighted to receive this cheque towards our recovery programmes for people with depression. The recent tragic case of Gary Speed has drawn people’s attention to the link between depression and suicide and this cheque will help us save lives here in Northern Ireland.”
