Lisburn's 98FM

𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗯𝘆𝗲...
It is with great sadness that we are writing this post but we must inform you that Lisburn's 98FM is shutting down.

Remarkably, it was on this day in 2012 that we held our official launch party and we are so proud of the station we became through the help and hard work of an often small but dedicated team.

To our amazing listeners and incredible volunteers past and present we say a massive THANK YOU!

It has been a privilege spending this time with you.

❤️📻🎶

Happening today in Market Square 🧠💛👇

🌍🧠 Every year, on the 10th of October, we come together to observe World Mental Health Day. The theme for 2023, as set by the World Foundation of Mental Health, is 'Mental health is a universal human right.' 🤝

World Mental Health Day serves as a platform to raise awareness about mental health and to foster positive changes for everyone's mental well-being. It's a crucial opportunity to have conversations about our mental health, the importance of taking care of it, and the significance of seeking help when needed.

This community event will shine a spotlight on the incredible work carried out by local charities in our city, all dedicated to supporting mental health. 🏙️

We invite you to join us and gather valuable information from organisations such as Links Counselling Services, Atlas Centre, Inspire, Action Mental Health, Mental Health Motorbike, MACs, YMCA, Advantage NI, Ascert, LCC Community Trust, and Lisburn Downtown Centre.

And the cherry on top - free tea, coffee, and delicious buns! ☕🍰
