Portstewart Street Collection

Saturday the 31st of May 2025

Thanks to the overwhelming generosity we experienced in Portstewart, on Saturday, we raised an impressive £171.44! This sum will go a long way in supporting the costs associated with running our seasonal events. These events bring joy, happiness and hope to families and children living in some of the most socioeconomically disadvantaged communities in Northern Ireland.

Every penny donated (whether by the bucket or online) brings us closer to making a significant difference in the lives of those we serve. Don’t worry if you’ve missed the collection, you can still donate online here.

A Special Thank You!

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to both our volunteers and the businesses that supported our volunteers throughout the day - on Saturday:

Bob & Bert’s, Portstewart

A big thank you to Mannen for providing our volunteers with the choice of coffee or tea - at no cost - during their first shift. The warm brews certainly went down a treat during a very wet and blustery morning shift.

A massive thank you to Keelin for providing our volunteers with a beautiful, warm and filling meal - at no cost - during their lunch break! The consensus was also incredibly clear among the group - your food is absolutely divine!

Roughans, Portstewart

A huge thank you to Damian for providing our amazing volunteers their choice of ice-cream/gelato - at no cost! Nearing the end of a long day collecting, as the weather finally picked up, this really was the perfect little treat! Our more senior volunteers truly appreciated sitting-in on their break, and they truly delighted in browsing the diverse offerings in store.
