Craigavon-based United Wines has launched its annual Designated Driver campaign to encourage safer driving in Northern Ireland over the Christmas party season.

As demand for no- and low-alcohol beers continues to increase year on year, United Wines is offering a FREE bottle of Heineken®0.0 or Birra Moretti Zero to anyone who chooses to stay sober and drive their friends home this Christmas.

Last year’s campaign contributed to more than 2,000 safe journeys home - with 2,400 free bottles claimed by drivers in Northern Ireland – and, once again, United Wines will be rewarding those unsung heroes who put themselves in the driving seat with a complimentary beer over the festive period, starting on Monday November 17.
Designated Driver Campaign
To avail of the offer this year, designated drivers can again claim their free drink by making themselves known and showing their car keys to bar staff at participating venues, a list of which can be found at www.unitedwines.co.uk/blog.

National Museums NI has received a £20,000 grant from the Broderers’ Charity Trust to support the conservation and celebration of one of Ireland’s most significant textile collections, the Ulster Folk Museum’s renowned white work embroidery collection.

The funding is supporting the museum’s Drawn Threads and Running Stitches project, which conserves and researches historic embroidery while creating new opportunities for learning and engagement among students, makers, and visitors. The project also includes new acquisitions, hands-on workshops, and a forthcoming publication that will explore the artistry and social history of embroidery in Ulster.

The grant was recently celebrated with a visit from members of the Worshipful Company of Broderers and the Broderers’ Charity Trust to the Ulster Folk Museum, where they viewed highlights from the collection and met with some of the museum’s team.

A County Antrim charity that offers specialist support to children living with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus has purchased a new all-terrain wheelchair with help from Power NI.

The Quadrix Watt wheelchair has been engineered with a specialist, hi-tech in-wheel suspension system that is proven to reduce neck pain, back pain, and fatigue for users when navigating cobbled or uneven surfaces, or venturing off-road, down forest tracks.

Ballymena-based Love Hope & Faith have been able to invest in the state-of-the-art piece of equipment thanks to a donation received through Power NI’s Helping Hands initiative.

The local charity was set up to help people living with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus by providing support, encouragement, and a framework of care for those most in need.
