Train 2B Smart are a registered charity founded by former Manchester United, Wigan Athletic and Northern Ireland player Pat McGibbon in 2013. The charity, which promotes positive mental health and builds resilience through sport was founded in memory of Pats brother Phillip , who tragically took his own life in 1993. Train 2BSmart have 200 children from the ages of 5-17years old in affiliated teams and run cross-community school health and well-being projects in Northern Ireland ( where mental health issues leading to suicide are highest in the UK ) . High profile sporting legends such as Roy Keane, and Sir Alex Ferguson have already been guest speakers in mental health fundraising events ( see www.train2bsmart.com) . Train 2B Smart have recently partnered with an integrated Primary School, Tullygally PS in the Craigavon area to promote cross community relations and develop an old existing gravel pitch into a community hub which will promote well-being, educate and inspire the local and wider community. Please donate to this very important and worthwhile cause.
