Northlands Centre to celebrate 50 years of service with a special New Year’s Day Dip

Northlands Addiction Treatment Centre is set to celebrate 50 years of service with a special New Year’s Day dip event.

As the Centre approaches this significant milestone, it is preparing for a year-long celebration that will highlight its five decades of service, reflect on its achievements, and engage the community in its mission to support and rehabilitate those affected by addiction.

To kickstart this remarkable milestone, Northlands is inviting everyone to a special New Year’s Day Dip at Culdaff beach, aiming to recruit 50 brave participants - one for every year of its unwavering service to the community.

The New Year’s Day Dip, will symbolise new beginnings, resilience, and hope, values that have been at the core of Northlands’ mission since its inception.

This community-driven event invites everyone to take part, either as swimmers, dippers or supporters, to celebrate our achievements and raise much need funds and awareness about addiction recovery.

“Fifty years ago, Northlands opened its doors with a vision to provide hope and healing to those in need. As we reflect on the thousands of lives we’ve touched, we couldn’t think of a better way to honour this legacy than by gathering our community for an event filled with purpose and unity,” said Nuala Hegarty, Business and Operations Manager of Northlands Addiction Treatment Centre.

Participants will not only be part of a symbolic and fun event but will also help raise awareness and support for Northlands’ ongoing programs.

For five decades, Northlands has been at the forefront of addiction treatment, offering evidence-based programs, compassionate care, and a safe space for individuals to rebuild their lives.

This event is an opportunity for Northlands to thank the community for its support and to renew our commitment to helping those on the path to recovery.

All proceeds from the event will go towards expanding Northlands’ services, ensuring we can continue to provide the highest quality of care for those who need it most.
