THE Chairman of Enniskillen Round Table, Ian Creighton, has nominated Action Mental Health (AMH) as his chosen charity for his year as Chair.

Ian said, “Mental health is a topic that is very close to my heart and so it was an easy decision to decide to fundraise for Action Mental Health.

“They do great work across Northern Ireland and here in Enniskillen through their New Horizons service.

“We already have lots of activities planned for the year ahead which we encourage the public to get involved with.

“I would like to recognise the massive effort of Mark Edwards, a Round Table member who organised his annual football match on July 16, through Blakes of the Hollow Bar in Enniskillen, with a fantastic £1,665 raised.”

On September 9, 11 members of the Round Table will be taking part in Bray Hell and Back, Ireland’s toughest physical and mental endurance challenge. Over seven kilometres, challengers face man-made obstacles and the natural terrain to test their endurance.

“World Mental Health Day is on October 10,” added Mr. Creighton, “And we have several things planned for that week. A street collection is organised for October 11, while a number of bands will be playing in Blakes of the Hollow on October 13. The bands include Midnight Graffiti and The Hand Me Downs, with admission to the Live Lounge £5.

“I would like to thank the bands for volunteering their time on the night.”
Enniskillen Round Table is planning a bake sale and a table quiz at a later date.
