July 2025

Rossville Celebrate 30 years 

Undertones legend Michael Bradley visited the Rossville Group recently to unveil the outdoor art installation, a piece made from a project with Artscare facilitator Selina Coyle. Members of Rossville worked with Pinhole Photography cameras making historic images from city centre locations. Derry Credit Union provided funding for materials. Staff and members were delighted to welcome Michael Bradley and had a question and answer session with him about his life in the Undertones and as an author and radio presenter.

Vanessa Campbell, Senior Day Care Worker said: ‘We were delighted to have Michael unveil our artwork celebrating 30 years at Pilots Row. We are great fans, many thanks to Michael for making our day and giving us a real boost.’

 

Creamery House 

On 15th July Creamery House Residents and staff walked the 5km event at the Lady of the Lake Festival in Irvinestown.

The residents followed fitness programmes to prepare for the event which helped them to achieve their health and fitness goals in the process. The residents did their own fundraising to go towards the Creamery House comfort fund for activities and day out.
It was a wonderful opportunity to interact with the local communities big thanks to all who supported our service users and to those who gave so generously! Well done.

  Cancer Services Roadshow 

  To mark World Cancer Day 2025, Macmillan in Northern Ireland Cancer Support provided funding for Western Trust to develop two new resources to support people with a learning disability using cancer services. With the help of Lilliput Theatre Company, we have developed a series of short videos and an easy read story book co-produced with adults with a learning disability and their carers. These resources provide information on what service users can expect if attending screening appointments in both Altnagelvin and community, attending North West Cancer Centre and the support services available.

  We invite anyone with a learning disability, their family/carers or anyone working or volunteering in Cancer Services or Learning Disability to come to our roadshows.

  • Tuesday 8th April | 10:30AM – 12:30PM | Omagh Leisure Complex

  If you would like to attend, phone 02871611272 or email: HWB.Campus@westerntrust.hscni.net
