Glendermott Boys’ Brigade : the adventure begins here

Based in the Waterside area of Derry, Glendermott BB has approx. 75 member and believes it is the biggest company in the North West.  With parents’ finances stretched at this time, the Brigade sought funding towards the purchase of soft-shell fleeces/raincoats for the boys to wear outside.  The Leaders also wanted the jackets to bear the BB crest to endorse the boys representing their company when taking trips out.  The jackets will belong to the Brigade and be distributed to those who need them on the day.  Both Alderman Hilary McClintock and Cllr Darren Guy were familiar with the Brigade and happy to support the application.  The Committee welcomed any encouragement for outdoor activities and agreed a grant of £980 as per the estimate for 15 Adult and 20 Junior sizes.  Later in the year we received a photograph of the boys in their ‘SoftShells’, together with a note saying that The Jackets will make a massive difference to the boys and with the embroidered panel the boys will have ownership and be proud to represent Glendermott Boys Brigade.  We wish to thank the Honourable Irish society for granting us this grant and make this difference to the company”.
