Lest We Forget – 1st July 1916
Today we remember the bravery and sacrifice of the 36th (Ulster) Division at the Battle of the Somme.

“I am not an Ulsterman, but yesterday 1st July, as I followed their attack, I felt I’d rather be an Ulsterman than anything else in the world.”
– Captain Wilfred Spender

We honour their memory with quiet reflection and gratitude.

He Did It!
After a few delays due to the weather, Calum finally took the leap—literally! On Monday 5th May, Calum completed his charity skydive in support of Action Cancer.

Soaring through the skies, Calum’s brave jump wasn’t just a thrill-seeking adventure—it was a powerful act of support for a cause that touches so many lives. Action Cancer provides vital cancer screening services in our community, and thanks to the generous donations and Calum’s commitment, they’re able to keep doing just that.

We couldn’t be prouder of you, Calum! Your courage and dedication have made a real difference.

There’s still time to support this incredible cause!
Donations can be made at:

Thank you to everyone who has supported so far—and once again, WELL DONE CALUM!
