🚗 Big breakfast and carwash 🍳

Yesterday morning, we held our big breakfast and car wash at Aghadowey Presbyterian church!

After a lot of planning, it’s safe to say it was a very successful morning - with everyone leaving with full tummy’s and clean cars! (A few members seemed to get a shower too🙈)

All of this wouldn’t be possible without the support of our local community. A massive thankyou goes to our sponsors - McAtamney's Traditional Butchers, Kennys Spar Kilrea, and Eurospar Garvagh (not pictured) who supplied the food for the morning 🥞

Last but certainly not least, a massive thank you goes to everyone who supported our morning! Whether that be our members, parents or friends, your support does not go unnoticed🥰
