In 2023, the Belfast Black Santa Sitout Appeal raised £171,000 which was distributed to 120 local charities. For 2024, you can help us raise even more through on-line giving.

Every penny received from this Enthuse portal, will be used to support those local Northern Ireland Charities who apply for an award from the 2024 Black Santa Appeal. Last year we supported charities large and small from Belfast to Ballymena, Dunaghey to Derrygonnelly, from Larne to Lisburn, and Kilkeel to Kesh.

This year, in addition to supporting a full range of local charities working from mental health support to music development, from Baby Basics to Senoir Citizens Clubs, we will have a special focus on those charities working with young people in two particular areas of need.

We will be giving special attention to charities working to support families living with a family member with a diagnosis of autism.

And with our longterm partner PwC we will also support charities tackling the issue of homlessness in Belfast and beyond, with a particular emphasis on charities who are working to prevent care experienced young people finding themselves homeless.

Please help us this Christmas by making a donation small or large which help us achive our goal for 2024.

Thank you so much for your donation at this Christmas Time.
