The challenge was a walk/run from Rathain Fold in Coleraine to Skerries Fold in Portstewart passing by Tullaghmurray Fold in Portstewart (for refreshments) – a distance of 10 miles. All those involved were rewarded with a warm welcome and a barbecue organised at Skerries Fold.
Tenants from Radius Sheltered Housing Schemes contributed to hampers which were raffled off to raise funds.
The event brought together Radius Staff, Floating Support service users, Tenants from Rathain, Tullaghmurray and Skerries Fold with local residents (including those from Portstewart Community Association and new tenants from Cappagh Green). The event provided a great opportunity to build relations and promote awareness of Radius Cappagh Green general family housing scheme.
