Our supporter of the month is Helen Carson and the Tudor Oaks supported living tenants! We want to thank them for all their hard work at Tesco Banbridge Superstore. So many staff and people we support with a learning disability got involved and it resulted in them fundraising so much to help Mencap Northern Ireland continue its mission to make the lives of people with a learning disability happier and healthier.


Helen Carson said, “We all had such fun doing the bucket collection. A big shout out the amazing tenants of Tudor Oaks supported living who showed up and contributed so much to this fundraiser in their own local Tesco store.”

The Tesco collections held on the 27th and 28th of June raised £4,693.50 in total. And the Tesco Banbridge Collection was a massive part of this total, thanks to all the tenants of Tudor Oaks who took part and Helen Carson’s incredible leadership skills on the day. We are so grateful when Mencap members get involved and help us out. And this was a fantastic example of Tudor Oaks showing all of the Mencap values !
