Brethren and bandsmen back local children's charity
£120 was raised by the officers and members of Bateson’s True Blues LOL 1925 at their recent St Patrick’s Day parade in Lisburn, while the Noel Clarke Memorial Flute Band generously decided they would match the amount raised at the event, bringing the total to £240.
The Worshipful Master of Bateson’s True Blues, Bro John Griffen, said: “The officers and members of Bateson’s True Blues LOL 1925 are proud to be supporting Angel Wishes, which is helping children smile again.

The cheques were handed over to Gaye Kerr, the Moira woman who set up Angel Wishes in 2015 in memory of her twins Brian and Helen.
Helen passed away in 2005 after battling a rare blood disorder. She was just three years old.
Ten-year-old Brian, who suffered from a rare genetic disorder, passed away in 2012.
