Lisburn cleric sent to prison, but for a good cause
Together with accomplices Roy ‘The Musician’ Totten from Glenavy and Neville ‘Cruncher’ Jones from Lisburn, Sam ‘The Dean’ Wright was sentenced to some time behind bars.
People will be relieved to hear that there was no suggestion of any criminality. All three were locked up in ‘The Crum’ to raise funds to help build a toilet block for the children of Andrew McAvoy Primary School in Northern Uganda.

Donations to fund the project are still welcome and can be made online at

A team of young adults from Lisburn Cathedral is planning to travel to Uganda with local charity Abaana this summer.
The team will be working across a range of Abaana’s projects, which includes helping in the construction of the new toilet block, holding three-day holiday bible clubs for primary school pupils, and working with street children living ‘rough’ on the streets of Kampala.
