🚴Spin, Spin, Spin 🚴

Our third annual Spinathon took place last week at our Craigavon social enterprise Café incredABLE at South Lake to raise vital funds for incredABLE. It's an event we always look forward to! 🎉

It's so heartwarming to see people of all ages and abilities hop on a bike and do their bit for our incredABLE people, however long or short their pedalling stint might be! 💪

Over the course of seven hours, we had the best fun spinning and dancing while we fundraised! 💃🕺

Thank you so much to everyone who took part and made the event so enjoyable! A grand total of £605.67 was raised on the day! Congratulations everyone! 🎉

It wouldn't be a Spinathon without some singing and dancing from our trainee Danielle...including her signature breakdance! (We'll post the videos later this week!) And, of course, the balloon arch in incredABLE colours! Annabelle hits a PB every year she does it! ⏰🎈

Sincere thanks to Lord Mayor / Ard Mhéara Mary O' Dowd for popping in to meet everyone, hopping on a bike and making a donation. In her inaugural address in June, Councillor O'Dowd pledged to champion "fairness, opportunity, and progress for all" during her year in office. We look forward to inviting the new Lord Mayor to further incredABLE events. We think she'd enjoy the Black Moon inclusive disco! 🙌💜

We spotted Southern Health and Social Care Trust Assistant Director John McEntee queuing for coffee and he hopped on a bike too! 👏 As did lots of incredABLE's participants and the amazing crew from !

Thanks to our participant Alys for manning our information desk, to the getactiveabc staff for their help with logistics and the cafe staff for looking after us all so well as always! 💁‍♀️

The funds raised will go back to incredABLE to help the charity continue providing meaningful opportunities for people with a learning disability/difficulty and/or autism in the Southern Trust area.

🌟If anyone would still like to enter the raffle for a fantastic Fourball at Edenmore Golf Club, worth over £120, kindly donated by the club, please go to: donate.givetap.co.uk/d/mv6ja52p?qr-id=1-url

Extra golf-day goodies are included - it’s a brilliant prize for any golf lover. The lucky winner will be revealed on Friday, 30th October. 🏆

We also have a fundraising quiz in Newry coming up too! It's on Thursday, 29th October at The Bank Newry starting at 9pm. 🔞 18+ only - Teams of up to 6 people - £5 per person.

Thank you all for supporting our fundraising efforts - we appreciate every penny donated and every good wish 💜

🧐The Search Is On.....

We are looking for friendly, enthusiastic and reliable volunteers to join our Peer Outing Programme (P.O.P)! Do you have one Saturday per month free to lend a hand? 🤝

If you are studying for social care qualifications, volunteering with P.O.P could help you gain a valuable insight into caring for young people with a learning disability and/or autism.

About P.O.P.......
incredABLE's P.O.P service is delivered in partnership with the Southern Health and Social Care Trust's Children and Young People’s Disability Teams and takes place on the first Saturday of every month.

The service provides support to young people aged 14-18 years of age transitioning between school and adult services.

P.O.P provides an opportunity for participants to get together, make new friends, build confidence, develop social skills, and enjoy fun and meaningful experiences within the community. The volunteer helps to make this happen!

Each month, the group takes part in a different outing or activity, giving participants the chance to explore new places, try new things, and spend quality time with their peers.

The programme promotes friendship, independence, inclusion, and community participation, while creating a welcoming and enjoyable environment where everyone can feel connected and involved.

incredABLE's three P.O.P groups cover the areas Craigavon & Banbridge, Armagh & Down and Newry & Mourne.

As a P.O.P volunteer, you will have the opportunity to support participants to enjoy a wide range of social activities and community outings.

Volunteering with P.O.P is a rewarding way to make a positive difference while meeting new people, developing new skills and becoming part of an inclusive community. No two outings are the same, and you’ll help create memorable experiences for participants while supporting their confidence, independence and social connections.

Get in touch today to register your interest in volunteering! Please contact Services Coordinator Lee Sipson via email: [email protected] or phone: 028 3887 2111 and she will get back to you when she is free.
