Northern Ireland mum's fundraising initiative helps make local beach more inclusive

A fundraising campaign launched by a Northern Ireland family in support of the Mae Murray Foundation has resulted in making Portstewart an Inclusive Beach.

Mum of three, Anna Corry, launched the initiative on her Instagram platform, Blossoming Birds, with the aim of helping to ensure the beach she visited with her family would be able to offer the free hire of equipment for disabled people and those with extra mobility needs.

In just one week the Ballymena woman raised almost £20,000 thanks to the generosity of her social media community combined with a match-funding initiative from National Emergency Trust and Sport NI.
