A few of us are lacing up our trainers and logging lots of miles in preparation
for the Deep River Rock Belfast City Marathon on Bank Holiday Monday 4th May
2015. We have entered a relay team to raise money for Mencap and its Big Step Forward Appeal.
Mencap launched the Big Step
Forward Appeal in October 2014 to raise £1.7million to open its new Children
and Families Centre. At the heart of the new centre will be the relocated Segal
House nursery for 2 to 4-year-olds with a learning disability, autism and
developmental delay. The new building will be on the site of the former
Newtownbreda Primary School.
Morrow Communications provides PR
support for Mencap's Big Step Forward Appeal, so we have seen first-hand just
how special Segal House is to the children and their families. They have
inspired us throughout the whole campaign and we can’t wait to see the finished
building as we know it will be an amazing resource for families in Belfast and
the rest of Northern Ireland.
You may already be committed to a
charity of your choice but if the work of Mencap strikes a chord and you're
