£564 is raised for Chest, heart & Stroke

Northern Ireland Chest Heart & Stroke (NICHS) would like to thank Pamela Gourley of Create & Conquer florists in Cullybackey who celebrated her fourth anniversary in business by holding a fundraising coffee morning in aid of the charity.

Pamela’s father-in-law, Ian, is a stroke survivor and he took part in the charity’s Ballymena Post Rehab Exercise Programme (PREP), a physiotherapy led, community-based course which helps rebuild people's lives after stroke.

Ian now kindly volunteers at the local PREP group. Furthermore, Pamela’s niece is currently awaiting heart surgery which is why Pamela chose to support NICHS.

Pamela raised a fantastic £564 for the charity’s work. A big thank you to everyone who generously supported the coffee morning and to the local shops and businesses who donated raffle prizes.

Thanks also to MLA Timothy Gaston for attending the event.
