August 1st, 2026, Dalys store in Eglish invited the local community first responders to hold an information day at their forecourt. Not only did this give us the opportunity to spread the word about what we actually do, but we were able to take donations from customers attending the shop. We collected an amazing £1149.09!
We were delighted to return to Dalys today to thank Martin for facilitating us. Daly's Service Station

April 2025 is a month that the staff of Pilgrim’s Europe, Donaghmore Hatchery Branch, are unlikely to forget. Paul, an esteemed colleague, became acutely unwell, collapsing to the ground. Realising he was neither responsive or breathing effectively, his colleagues sprung into action. They called 999 and got the defibrillator. Community First Responders arrived on scene to see his colleagues performing CPR with a defib in place.
Northern Ireland Ambulance Service, and Air Ambulance Northern Ireland attended and Paul not only survived but is back working in Donaghmore. The Hatchery led by Michael Casey have raised money for their local CFR group for the last two years and today we were delighted to collect this years today total, an amazing £1130!
Thanks again to Paul and all those at the hatchery for this amazing donation!

Absolutely brilliant night at Quinns Corner. There was an amazing £1500 pounds raised for CFRA&T by the extremely generous crowd who packed the venue to watch and listen to the supremely talented J.P Cormier, Brendan Quinn and the members of Quinn's Corner Session band. We want to thank Pat Casey for his great efforts in bringing this all together and for choosing us as their charity of the night and to the Quinn family for hosting the event and keeping us all fed!
Pictured above are our responders who attended and the great Mr Cormier
