A special breakfast event, organised in partnership between Enterprise Causeway, Ulster University, and Causeway Chamber, welcomed over 60 men with breakfast, provided by talented chefs, Sean and Trudy Brolly, of the Bistro at the Courthouse on Wednesday.
Award-winning presenter and broadcaster, Lynette Fay, hosted the morning event, guiding an engaging panel discussion with local leaders – Dean Shiels, Head Coach of Coleraine FC; Gary Rutherford, Founder of ARC Fitness Ltd; and Liam Hinphey, Age-Friendly Programme Coordinator with Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council. Together, they offered personal insights into leadership, wellness and resilience resonating with those in the room.
Speaking about the day, Jayne Taggart, CEO of Enterprise Causeway reflected: “International Men’s Day is a chance to celebrate the men in our community, acknowledging their contributions, fostering meaningful connections around mental health and leadership, and creating opportunities to connect through shared passions like sport and traditional crafts.
“It was wonderful to have such a diversity in attendance – from business to education and the local community. Today’s celebrations was our way of showing appreciation and providing a space where men feel valued, appreciated, heard and inspired!”
