Get Your Workplace or Group Involved!

If you’re part of a workplace, school, church, or community organisation, why not run your own mini hamper or gift drive? Collect items as a team, set up a donation box, or even hold a Christmas jumper day fundraiser, it’s a wonderful way to spread kindness together while making a real difference.

We’re happy to provide posters, drop-off guidance, and collection support - just get in touch; LaurenGilliland@welcomeorganisation.org / ElizabethAlexander@welcomeorganisation.org

Monetary Donations: We also accept donations of money. For example, £20 could help us buy a sleeping bag for someone sleeping rough on the streets - a simple, but potentially life-saving piece of equipment - https://homelessbelfast.enthuse.com/donate

Every contribution, big or small, truly makes a difference. Let’s make this season brighter together!🎄
