Mark Poole and his dance partner April McNally took part in Portadown Cares Does Strictly 2019. This event was held in the Seagoe Hotel, Portadown, on Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd March 2019.
Each dancer in the competition raised money for a charity of their choice, and Mark Poole having been a volunteer with Craigavon Samaritans previously choose us. The couple put in the hours rehearsing for the event and even took the title of best costume!
A huge thank you to Mark for his fundraising efforts presenting us with £650 for our branch. Craigavon Samaritans is entirely reliant upon the charitable donations it receives and is managed by those that volunteer their time, providing support to many of the most vulnerable in society when they feel they have nowhere else that they can turn to.
Every year Samaritans answers more than five million calls from people struggling to cope. Each call for help by phone, email or face to face costs the charity approximately £3.88.
