GMcG’s Portadown Team Set to Conquer Slieve Meelmore for Charity

A team from GMcG’s Portadown office will take on Slieve Meelmore in the Mourne Mountains on September 13th as a fundraiser for GMcG’s 2025 charity partner, NI Chest Heart & Stroke (NICHS). NICHS’s ‘Twilight Hearty Hike’ will see our hikers reach the summit at sunset, followed by a nighttime descent back to base camp.

Our team of 14 accountants, tax advisers and administration staff will swap spreadsheets for hiking gear, hoping their hiking skills will excel on the slopes of Slieve Meelmore. The mountain challenge, 680m above sea level, is no easy feat but the spectacular views will certainly make it a memorable experience.

Importantly, Team GMcG will be raising much needed funds for our charity partner. NICHS is leading the fight against chest, heart and stroke illnesses in NI. The charity provides support for people affected, and works to prevent these illnesses by delivering health checks and health promotion programmes, funding research and campaigning for improved care, treatment and awareness

A huge well done and good luck to our team for stepping up to this challenge. Your efforts will make a real difference.
