Hosted by Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council, the evening brought together representatives from across the Borough, including local sports clubs, community groups and representatives from the Mayor’s three chosen charities, Marie Curie, ALPS (All Lives are Precious) and Brainwaves NI.

Guests enjoyed an evening of celebration, with an auction and prize draw helping to raise a significant contribution for his three vital charities.

Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, Councillor Henry Cushinan commented,

“It is a tremendous honour and privilege to serve as Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey. We have a fantastic Borough, and one that I am extremely proud of. During my term, I hope to continue visiting and meeting the people and organisations who make it such a special place, including the community and voluntary organisations, the local businesses and our fantastic sports clubs.

“I am delighted to have raised £6,850 for my three chosen charities. They each provide vital services, supporting people and families at times when compassion, care and practical help matter most.

“I am incredibly proud that we have already raised such a significant amount, and I would like to thank everyone who contributed to making the evening such a success. I look forward to continuing my fundraising efforts throughout the remainder of my term and raising even more for these three very deserving organisations.”
