Donation from the 2024 Belfast Black Santa Appeal

5th February 2025

On Sunday 2nd February, on behalf of DU Dance, Mags attended Belfast Cathedral’s annual Good Samaritans’ Service to receive a very welcome donation from The 2024 Black Santa Sit Out Appeal.

Mags enjoyed meeting special guest Lady Mary Peters and took great delight in hearing Peter Corry sing during the service.

This year’s Sit Out raised over £200,000, all of which has been shared out among over 107 local charities. Representatives of The Belfast Charitable Society marked the 250th anniversary of the opening of Clifton House on Christmas Eve 1774 by contributing an amazing £73,600 to this year’s total.

This generous donation will immensely benefit Alternative Energies, our intergenerational dance programme in Ballycastle.
