The 55 mile Granite Challenge starts in the Cathedral town of Downpatrick, cycling via Tyrella towards Dundrum, then along the coast road through the seaside town of Newcastle, towards Annalong. Then its up into the Mourne Mountains, past Silent Valley. The climb up to Spelga will be rewarded at the top with tea and traybakes. Then it’s downhill towards home, through Bryansford, Maghera and Clough. Final destination Downpatrick, where a homemade lunch awaits you.
Local Derry Man, James Goligher took on the challenge of an Ironman and raised a staggering £3,000 for Action Mental Health.
The Ironman consisted of a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bicycle ride and a 26.2 mile marathon. James raised the fantastic amount through sponsorship and a fundraising event.
Well done James and thank you for helping us to Take Action on Mental Health!

We have teamed up with PIPS to host a free to attend football tournament taking place on 20th July 2015 in Jennings Park, Newry.
Eight leading teams from the South Down and South Armagh area will compete in a knock out competition that will see clubs from different leagues play each other. The quality of the teams taking part is excellent with most of the teams being major winners in their individual leagues last season. Camlough Rovers, Windmill Stars, Warrenpoint Town, Newry City, Rostrevor Rovers, Cleary Celtic, Bessbrook United and Newry Celtic will compete for the trophy. The tournament promises entertainment and strong competition.
We hope that this tournament will raise awareness of mental health, especially with young men who find it difficult to talk about their mental health. Sport, either played or watched, can have a positive effect in helping people with poor mental health and also breaking down barriers to mental ill health, suicide and self-harm in the community.
During the course of a year one in four people will experience some type of mental health issue. Anyone may be affected, regardless of age, gender, social class or lifestyle.

Commenting on the Impact of Alcohol programme, Tony Stevens, Chief Executive of the Northern Trust said:
“this event was subtitled “Partnership in Practice” to reflect the fact that working together can be challenging, however where it results in the delivery of better services and improved for our populations, then we need to continue to develop our understanding and take on board the learning of how to do it better.”
