A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came along and supported our Quiz Night at the Lower House Bar, Donaghmore! 🎉

The quiz was organised by our Heroes + Participants as part of their Social Action Project, with the goal of giving back to their local community.

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we raised an amazing £661! 👏 This will be split equally between the two primary schools in Donaghmore Village, helping to support the fantastic work they do for local children.

A special thank you to everyone who donated prizes, took part in the quiz, and helped make the evening such a success. Your support means so much and has made a real difference.

Together, we've shown what a community can achieve when people come together for a great cause.

We're sharing these important leaflets to help raise awareness about coercive control and the support available.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥?
It's a persistent pattern of behaviours designed to intimidate, threaten, humiliate and restrict a person's freedom. Whilst it can include physical violence, it's most commonly psychological and emotional manipulation.

𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 '𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝, 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐊𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐨𝐞𝐬':

𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃: Doubting your thoughts or feelings? Have they made you feel ashamed?
𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒: Constantly looking over your shoulder? Always being watched?
𝐊𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐒: Apologising without knowing why? Always getting the blame?
𝐓𝐎𝐄𝐒: Do you feel stuck? Do you feel safe at home?

If something doesn't feel right, talk to someone you trust.

Our Donaghmore Heroes had the time of their lives in gorgeous Carlingford.. this was their 2nd Residential and they thrived 🥰🥰 They tried things for the first time and conquered fears of heights and water and we couldnt be prouder 🤩🤩

Axe throwing, laser tag and kayaking were amongst the many incredible experiences and to top it all off.. the weather was on our side. It was glorious!!

🪨✨ The Arvalee Heroes have been on a mission! ✨🪨 🥰🥰

Armed with paintbrushes, creativity, and a whole lot of heart, our Arvalee Heroes headed to Gortin Glen Forest Park to hide their beautifully painted rocks throughout the forest as part of their Social Action Project.
Each rock carries a little gift for whoever finds it — a message of hope, inspiration, kindness, or joy. 💛

Now it's over to you, Omagh! 👀

Next time you're out exploring with family or friends, keep your eyes peeled for our colourful creations.

If you spot one:

🏷️ Tag Friends of Arvalee and B.E.A.M Creative Network

👫 Challenge a friend or family member to find one too!
Who knows where these little rocks of positivity might turn up... and whose day they might brighten. 🌈
Ready, set, rock hunt! 🪨✨
