BE PART OF MENCAP’S DREAM
It’s an exciting dream that we have long
looked forward to, a dream that Ulster Rugby
is playing its part in and a dream that Ulster
and Scarlets fans can help taking a big step
forward tonight.
As Ulster Rugby’s official charity partner for
2014/2015, we began to build our new Children
and Families’ Centre in Newtownbreda last
week with the official sod cutting at the site.
Andrew Trimble, Ruan Pienaar and Iain
Henderson found themselves in a very
different kind of mud as they got down and
dirty, shovels in hand, helping children from
our Segal House Nursery start the build.
The new centre will bring therapeutic care,
information and support to children with a
learning disability and their families all under
one roof. At its heart will be our relocated
Segal House nursery for two to four year
olds with a learning disability, autism and
developmental delay.
Mencap’s Big Step Forward Appeal
Not only were the players on hand to cut the
first sod, Ulster Rugby is supporting our Big
Step Forward Appeal to build, equip and run
our new centre. Tonight we are asking you to
support us again in building a better future for
people with a learning disability.
It will cost £4.6 million. With £3 million already
secured, we have a £1.7 million gap to fill. But
the good news is we already have £500,000
pledged towards our target, so we need your
help to raise the lot.
Last week Ulster players helped Mencap begin to turn a
dream into a reality…
1. To donate £3 Text MENCAP to 70660*

If we all texted £3 that would be just over
£50,000, enough to build our new soft play
area in Newtownbreda.

OFFICIAL CHARITY PARTNER 2014/15
Big Thank you
We can’t do it without you! We have made a
great start after an Ulster Rugby online auction
and the first charity match in October when
Ulster and Glasgow fans raised an amazing
£6,000 for the Big Step Forward Appeal. So
please support us tonight.
You can help by texting a donation or by giving
to one of our Mencap collectors around the
stadium. Your donation will make an incredible
difference to future generations.
Some of you are already helping by wearing
silly socks and shoes- but we’d love you to
help out a little bit more! To find out how -
