I love Christmas BUT….there is no other time of year when we get more people reaching out to us in desperation- gut wrenching but true. This Christmas Hummingbird has NO funding support for people to get in touch with us directly, so please, if you can, give the BEST gift you can give to your community and sponsor time to talk.

Your donation WILL save a life this Christmas

🙏👇🏼🙏👇🏼

​The BEST gift you can give this Christmas- TIME to TALKThe festive period can be a difficult time for those who are lonely and struggling with their mental health. This year, su***de rates have dramatically increased in NI, with services being harder to reach and the world feeling very complicate...

Autumn has brought some innovation and excitement to the Hummingbird team- and we are building! Building something that should help hundreds of people to stay mentally fit and not have to wait for the never never to get help and support for the their mental health. Stay tuned folks, 2026 is going to be strong 💪🏻

Mmm.... I think we'd be better sticking to mental health than pub quizzes 🙄

Back to School day! 🫣 We hope everyone had a lovely summer and now that everyone is back at school we are excited to announce the overall winner of our Open your mind Schools project!

Every day throughout the Open week, hundreds of attendees visited our exhibit, with all of your amazing projects on show. They allowed us to spark amazing conversations about our area, how talented our young people are and how important looking after your emotional wellbeing is.

The votes kept coming and after every vote was counted, we had an overall winner…🥁🥁🥁🥁

Carnalridge Primary School!!!

Thank you all so much for your hard work and inspiring projects. We will be in touch with the Schools that participated later in the week about your projects but meantime 3 cheers for CARNALRIDGE!!!

Not only did you get the most votes, but 2 of your old alumni reconnected over your project after years of not seeing each other (see photo!) 🥰

Well that’s a wrap for the 153rd at Royal Portrush. It feels just like when a wedding is over, when you wish you could go back and enjoy every minute of it all over again.

What an extraORDINARY week we’ve had and here’s just some of the images as we look back on an absolutely fantastic experience and campaign for our new Hummingbird Causeway charity.

We cannot thank the &A enough for giving us the opportunity to provide advice, information and raise awareness on mental health issues among some of the 280,000 golf fans attending the event.

Also praise to all our volunteers who ‘manned’ the tent and talked about all things mental health and wellbeing, and for showcasing our fantastic school childrens’ artwork about the import role sport plays in mental fitness.

To the shortbread makers, and master chocolatiers and all who donated to help us raise funds so we can provide even more vital mental health services in the Causeway Coast and Glens area, we salute you.

As well as our amazing followers for all the likes and shares and engagement. We wouldn’t be where we are today without you.

Last but not least a big shout out to our Hummingbird cardboard cutout. Between you and the hawks, the Portrush seagulls have been checking in for some of our special brand of lived experience psychotherapy.

Plenty of famous birds hanging out at this year! Our very own Hummingbird helping the two working hawks in scaring the seagulls off. As well aas providing mental health support and advice to some of the 280,000 fans visiting the 153rd Championship we are glad to play a proactive part in keeping visitors’ chips safe. 😜

Last day at 😲. Everyone is coming in to watch a certain homegrown talent tee off this afternoon- but as they pass, there is opportunity to see some more stars of the show, the wonderful School exhibits, here in the Sunscreen tent near Gate 2.

Local school children’s artwork has been the talk of among visitors to the tent and we are so proud to have showcased their talent across the week. Thank you to each and every child and school who took part, helping us to raise awareness and funds for Hummingbird Causeway’s very first campaign.

For those who haven’t been, please come and have a look before the curtains close on this incredible golfing extravaganza and if you would like to support us, follow the link here.
