Help Women’s Aid ABCLN ‘Make It Magical’ for children this Christmas

Women’s Aid ABCLN is calling for your support to help ‘Make It Magical’ for children affected by domestic abuse this Christmas.

“Join us and help Make It Magical for children” says Women’s Aid ABCLN’s Communication and Engagement Manager, Arlene Creighton.

“You can give a gift, make a donation or host a magical Christmas fundraiser to support our work.

“Make A Christmas Cuppa with family and friends, hold a Christmas Jumper Day in your workplace or organise a Giving Tree for toys and gifts this Christmas."

Arlene continued:

“We believe every child deserves a magical Christmas but for many children living with domestic abuse the reality is very different.

“On Christmas Day last year 97 incidents of domestic abuse were reported to the PSNI. For every incident, the impact on children and young people living with domestic abuse can be devastating.”

Women’s Aid ABCLN provides confidential support, information and emergency accommodation for women and children who are affected by domestic abuse across Antrim, Ballymena, Carrickfergus, Larne and Newtownabbey.

As the cost-of-living crisis deepens the fantastic local charity are also appealing for donations of food and fuel vouchers that will provide a much-needed lifeline for families this Christmas.
