Those of us who know how hard the team of 2 North work, know how incredible they all are. Today we want to send a special thanks to Nuala McCloy, Sharon Caldwell, Judith Moutray and Rebecca Balfour -the 2North Belfast Marathon relay team. What an amazing bunch of ladies you are!

To the victor, the spoils! The wonderful Nuala McCloy was victorious when it came to naming our OG~Seabourn Teddy recently. Our Chair, Helen Setterfield visited Nuala to present her with her very own Oggie. We’re sure he will live his best life as mascot of Ward 2North, BCH!

We'd like to congratulate the new Mr and Mrs Blaney on their recent wedding. Lauren & William decided to forego wedding favours, instead choosing to make a donation in memory of Lauren’s father, William Smith, whom they sadly lost to this disease. Thank you for your support❤️🥂🎊
