• Encircle (Armagh
and Dungannon region)
Encircle was formed in August 2006 and are currently looking for people in the
Dungannon and Armagh regions who would be interested in joining their support
group.
Encircle Fundraising Support Group held their first event in October 2006, a
parachute jump challenge. 30 people participated in a 13,000 feet tandem parachute
jump. The total amount raised is £10,600! Encircle would like to thank
all those who took part and everyone who gave so generously helping to raise
this fantastic amount of money. Since their first event in 2006 they have held
annual events such as table quizzes, flag days and a fun day in Dungannon Park.
Encircle, the SAHS fundraising
group in Armagh and Dungannon are always happy to invite new members to join
their fundraising group. Encircle meet approx every 6-8weeks to discuss fundraising
ideas and raising awareness of Hospice in the local area. Encircle organise
events throughout the year in order to keep the profile of Hospice in the thoughts
of the local community.
