Speakers included: Sarah Jane Campbell, Service Manager from The Well Kilkeel; Niamh Quin, founder of charity Advocacy VSV; Daria Yakovenko and host Lynette Fay.
The proceeds of the event will be donated to the Chairperson's Chosen Charities - Down Right Brilliant, Life Change Changes Lives, Newry All Stars, Sound Friends and Well Lane Warriors.
