Our founder, Alan, was delighted to attend the Banbridge RFC Centenary Formal Dinner at the Crowne Plaza Belfast last Saturday evening.

The event welcomed special guests including Andy Farrell, Rory Best, Tyrone Howe and David Humphreys.

One of Alan's good friends, Timmy Honeyford, kindly arranged for a rugby ball to be signed by Andy, Rory, Tyrone and David, before generously donating it to Alan to help raise funds for Portadown Wellness Centre.

The very next day, the signed ball raised £100, with all proceeds going directly to support the work of the Centre.

A huge thank you to Timmy for his thoughtfulness, kindness and generosity. His support is greatly appreciated.

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference. Contributions like this help us provide professional counselling sessions to members of our community who are experiencing mental health challenges and may not otherwise be able to access the support they need.

Together, we are helping to make mental health support more accessible for everyone.

🥊 Some of our Barbarians were down at Inclusive Boxing in Tullylish last night and had a fantastic time! 💙

A huge thank you to Justy for organising the session and giving everyone the opportunity to get involved, learn new skills and have plenty of fun along the way. 👏

Great to see sport bringing people together and creating opportunities for everyone. 💪
