You’re warmly invited to a Domestic Abuse Awareness & Information Event at Donaghadee Community Centre on Tuesday, March 3 from 7–8.30pm.

This is a community-focused evening designed to raise public awareness around the realities of domestic abuse and coercive control within local communities, and encourage early recognition and early intervention.

The event is open to everyone; community members and traders, professionals and volunteers and anyone who may encounter someone experiencing domestic abuse in their day-to-day role. Attendees will have an opportunity to access support services and practical knowledge, including how and when to offer safe support, and to gather practical information and clear signposting to support services.

The evening will offer a respectful space for solidarity and reflection following the murder of Sarah Montgomery and her baby Liam in June 2025, acknowledging the impact of domestic abuse on families and communities, while avoiding harm or sensationalism. And at the very heart of this evening will be survivor-informed messages and the powerful and thought-provoking awareness exhibition, Souls of Our Shoes, curated by the Mothers' Union around the impact of domestic abuse and coercive control.

Hosted by Donaghadee Community Development Association in partnership with North Down and Ards Women's Aid and community partners including the PSNI, there will be information and support resources available, alongside the opportunity to make one-to-one contact.

We hope you can join us for this vital community conversation and we look forward to meeting with you.

Date: Tuesday 3 March
Time: 7pm – 8:30pm
Venue: Donaghadee Community Centre, 12a Railway St, Donagahdee

Please see the poster attached and sign up by scanning the QR code, following the link below or contacting North Down and Ards Women's Aid.

Last year uHub and Bangor Foodhub & Community Support where approached by Alex Easton Independent Unionist with an idea that he would like to fundraise for both charities but climbing Kilimanjaro in August 2025 along with some other events including a Gala Ball!
Alex raised a huge amount of money which was split between both charities very gratefully!
We would like to thank Alex once again and we are posting this fabulous article which gives an insight into the actual climb and the fact due to travel beyond their control they nearly missed it!! Not an ideal start!! Terrifying image of Alex and his fellow climbers on “Barranco Wall” shows this was definitely not just a Dander round the Dee!! A fascinating read and thank you again Alex and all those who supported you on your climb!
