The Deputy Lord Mayor, Councillor Kyle Savage recently visited Dromore-based charity ‘Breaker Breaker’, to explore how the ABC Community Food Hub, Social Supermarkets and wraparound services could help support this fantastic charity.

Breaker Breaker, established by Leanne Lyons to support the mental health and wellbeing within the Haulage Industry, operates a unique Mobile Welfare Hub – a 45ft trailer equipped with referral rooms, health check facilities, a barber station, and a safe space for confidential conversations.

With many haulage workers operating long, unsociable hours and facing isolation on the road, access to flexible, mobile support services is crucial for their physical and mental wellbeing.

The visit highlighted the shared goals of both organisations, with Breaker Breaker gaining valuable information and access to the ABC Community Food Hub, Social Supermarket and Wraparound Services. These services offer essential support including food, advice, and household items to those in need.

Breaker Breaker extended their heartfelt thanks to Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council and the ABC Community Hub for their support and commitment to improving community wellbeing in the borough.
