ASA Charity Welcomes County Armagh Phoenix Group to Brownlow Courtyard
The Ancre Somme Association Charity was recently delighted to welcome members of the County Armagh Phoenix Group (CAPG) to our charity headquarters at Brownlow Courtyard, Lurgan.

CAPG carries out invaluable work supporting former members of the security forces, victims and survivors of the Troubles, while also developing and maintaining important community projects.
The group is particularly well known for commissioning and maintaining the County Armagh Memorial Wall, situated within the grounds of St Mark’s Parish Church, at The Mall/Victoria Street in Armagh. This important memorial ensures that those who lost their lives during the Troubles are remembered with dignity and respect.
During their visit, members enjoyed refreshments in The Bothy before attending a special screening of our documentary, Remembering the Somme.
The documentary follows individuals making the emotional journey to France and Belgium, visiting the graves and memorials of family members who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Great War. It is a powerful reminder of the personal stories, family connections and lasting impact of conflict across generations.
ASA Chairman Ashley Forbes also took the opportunity to share an insight into the charity's ongoing work, highlighting our commitment to remembrance, supporting individuals and communities, and ensuring that the sacrifices of previous generations are never forgotten.
It was a pleasure to welcome an organisation that shares our passion for remembrance, community and supporting those affected by conflict.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone from the County Armagh Phoenix Group who joined us. We hope you enjoyed your visit and look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
Remembering the Past, Supporting the Present, Educating for the Future.
