Health Minister Mike Nesbitt and councillors Pete Wray and Joe Boyle joined local community leaders in Portaferry on Saturday to launch a new festival celebrating Portaferry’s abundance of heritage - built, cultural and natural.

Our Early Birds choir came together with a few newbies for a special 'summer sing out social' at the weekend...

Announcing a new festival for Portaferry coming this September!

We were delighted to welcome a group from Peninsula Healthy Living to Portico this week.

On Saturday, First Aid trainer Diane Hollinger came to refresh our First Aid skills...

We had some very sad news this morning. Our lovely volunteer Gill Start has died. 

We were delighted to welcome the fresh new band REVÖLUTIØN to Portico to help us devise a new project...
