The NI Simmental Cattle Breeders’ Club successfully raised £8,500 for Southern Area Hospice Services through a charity BBQ and auction held in 2015. This substantial donation was further enhanced by a raffle organized by club members John and Julie Jardine. Southern Area Hospice Services, the beneficiary, is a local charity that provides care for over 1,000 patients annually who are living with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses.
The NI Simmental Cattle Breeders’ Club has presented a cheque for £8,500 to Southern Area Hospice Services.
The money is the proceeds of the club’s 2015 charity BBQ and auction, which was boosted by a raffle organised by club members and hospice fund raisers John and Julie Jardine from the Spelga View Herd based at Ballyroney, County Down.
John Jardine said: “I would like to personally thank the Northern Ireland Simmental Cattle Breeders’ Club for its generous support. The BBQ and auction was a huge success.”
Southern Area Hospice Services is a local charity providing care for people who are living with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses, such as Multiple Sclerosis and Motor Neurone Disease. The charity cares for over 1,000 patients annually.
Its services include: in-patient hospice facilities in Newry; day hospice facilities in Newry and South Tyrone Hospital, Dungannon; outpatients clinics in South Tyrone, Daisy Hill and Craigavon hospitals; palliative care teams in Daisy Hill and Craigavon hospitals; homecare nursing in the Armagh and Dungannon districts; bereavement support services; and an information and resource centre based in Dungannon.
Anne MacOscar, regional marketing officer, Southern Area Hospice Services said:”A sincere thank you to everyone involved. This is a wonderful donation, and we really appreciate the club’s support.
“In order to continue providing a high level of service we have to raise £2.38 millon pounds annually. Southern Area Hospice Services relies heavily on the generosity of local people, and a large network of volunteers to help us achieve our target.”
NI Simmental Cattle Breeders’ Club chairman Richard Rodgers thanked everyone who supported the fund raising efforts.
The NI Simmental Cattle Breeders’ Club has been hosting its charity BBQ at Dungannon Rugby Club for 24 years, and during that time has raised in excess of £100,000 for local charities.
