Stephen McElroy Appreciation & Remembrance Team We started this page in memory of Stephen McElroy who died on 29th March 2015. He was just 11 years old.

Stephen was like a ball of sunshine running round the house and he is terribly missed by myself, Paul his Dad and Ryan his younger brother. Ryan and Stephen were inseparable although they were incredibly different children. Stephen looked out for Ryan all the time but wound him up something serious!! The pain and sadness we feel since he has died is totally overwhelming on occasions but we have to keep going. Ryan has his life to lead and Stephen would want him to enjoy himself. So SMART will hopefully become a charity and funds will be raised for various good causes. Firstly a new pitch is being planned beside the primary school where Stephen went to school. He would have loved this. In addition we hope to put money towards CRUSE which helps people who are going through bereavement.

🌟 WELL, THAT'S DAY 1 OF OUR SMART (NI) SUMMER CAMP OVER!** 🌟

What a fantastic start! The children had an amazing morning filled with fun, games, laughter and making new friends. It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces throughout the day. 😊

A big thank you to everyone who came along and helped make today such a success. We're also very thankful that the rain stayed away! 🌤️

We can't wait to do it all again tomorrow. See you then! 🎉

✨️Some parents asking about a confirmation email. Don't worry, just bring your child along tomorrow and Wednesday. We made a bit of a pigs ear of the application forms this year so my apologies for that‼️

✨️What to wear? If you could send wee raincoats with the children tomorrow and Wednesday that would be great as weather forecast is a bit unpredictable. Also instead of shorts or skirts, can you have the children wear trousers or leggings or similar. And trainers instead of sandals if possible.👖👕👟

✨️ Send a small snack and a drink🍫🍶

✨️ The camp will go ahead even if it is raining. We have loads of games etc indoors if its very wet☔️🌤

✨️Hope to see you all tomorrow 😀
