Community Christmas Appeal 2024

Community Christmas Appeal 2024

The Glentoran Social Partnership's annual Christmas and Homeless Appeal was another incredible success this year, demonstrating the power of community coming together to support those in need.

Key Highlights

Our volunteers worked tirelessly throughout December to deliver essential support across East Belfast:

  • 514 food hampers distributed to low-income children and families
  • £18,000 worth of new toys provided to 274 children and 5 community groups, with support from Cash For Kids
  • Christmas dinners served to 64 local pensioners
  • 85 hot meals and 60 survival packs provided at our homeless feeding station, in partnership with Haven
  • 30 gifts delivered to tenants and staff at Stella Maris shelter, along with a plasma TV donation

Community Partnerships

This appeal was made possible through the incredible support of our partners, including the Glentoran Christmas and Homeless Appeal committee, Rio Ferdinand Foundation, Cash For Kids, Walkway Community Centre, and many dedicated volunteers from the Glentoran supporter community.

Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, resources, and generosity to make this happen.
