David’s 80 for 80 Challenge!

To celebrate his 80th birthday, David Mann is taking on a special challenge—cycling 80 kilometres on a tandem on 29th August!

David will be joined by his pilot, Mark Gillespie, along with other friends from Lisburn Outlook, as they help him complete this fantastic ride.

Funds raised will be shared equally between Lisburn Outlook and the Norrie Disease Foundation.

If you’d like to support David’s incredible challenge, you can donate to either or both charities via his JustGiving page:

🏝️ Rathlin Island Adventure! 🏝️

On Thursday 27th August, we’ll be hopping on the minibus for a day trip to Rathlin Island!

We’ll enjoy lunch in the pub and then explore the island, either with a relaxing walk or an official guided tour. Final details are still being arranged, but it’s sure to be a fantastic day out.

Dates For the Diary

🏛️ Enniskillen Workhouse Visit 🏛️

On 19th September, we’re planning a trip to the historic workhouse in Enniskillen.

The idea came from a previous group holiday, where we enjoyed a fascinating guided tour and discovered just how interesting local history can be. We hope this visit will be just as enjoyable.

As September is still some time away, we’re not taking names yet — for now, just save the date in your diary and we’ll share more details closer to the time.

Honouring Our Volunteers

Join us on Wednesday, 2nd September at 7.00 pm in the Civic Centre as we celebrate and honour the incredible volunteers who have dedicated 10 years or more of service to Lisburn Outlook.

We are delighted to be joined by the Mayor for this special evening of tea, conversation, and appreciation as we recognise the commitment and generosity of our long-serving volunteers.

We hope as many members and friends as possible will come along to help us say thank you, enjoy some refreshments, and share in this special celebration.
