A visit to Ards Monastery followed by some beautiful food & dancing at the Silver Tassie.

Our Annual Feile older adults bus trip in partnership with the Bogside & Brandywell Health forum and Creggan Neighbourhood Partnership had a lovely visit to Ards Monastery followed by dinner, music and dancing at the Silver Tassie.

A great day out. Thank you to everyone who was involved in making this happen

DEEDS Summer Boccia Tournament

All DEEDS Partner groups from across the city and district came together over the last number of weeks to take part in the Boccia championships.

Great fun and craic all round!

It was off to a great start with ”The Bluebells” and “The Caw Warriors” which Bluebells took the lead and Caw Warriors were too far out to catch up

It was a really great day and we all had some craic with ”The Bluebells” who won the cup

But not worry next year The Caw Warriors will be back to take the Cup home !!
