Lord Mayor of Armagh Banbridge & Craigavon Council Councillor Garath Keating joined with his Newry Mourne & Down counterpart Councillor Gillian Fitzpatrick to launch a special Cuan Mhuire Addiction Support Centre fundraising initiative, “The Qube Gameshow” based on the concept of the popular TV game show.
It will take place on Saturday 4th February in the Canal Court Hotel Newry at 8:00pm.
The Cuan Mhuire Regional Addiction Support Centre based in Newry, affectionately known as Sr Consilios after the Kerry born Nun who founded her first Rehabilitation Centre just over 50 Years ago, provides residential Addiction Support services to individuals and their families, throughout the North of Ireland and along the Border counties.
Speaking at the launch of the fundraising night, which will see contestants set tasks that will test their physical ability, mental ability, intelligence and responsiveness.
Katie Bennett of Cuan Mhuire’s Fundraising Team explained, “The Qube Gameshow Fundraising Event will entertain our contestants and guests while raising much needed funds for Cuan Mhuire. Fundraising is essential if we in Cuan Mhuire are to continue delivering our life saving and life changing services.
“Cuan Mhuire is a non-profit registered charity (XR27855) and is partly funded by national agencies, however our centres are constantly full and have a waiting list but resources are always inadequate to meet the crushing level of need.
