Randalstown Community Calendar 2026 launched to support Charis Cancer Care and Marie Curie

Randalstown ARCHES Association has unveiled the Randalstown Community Calendar 2026, marking the organisation’s 30th anniversary with a project designed to celebrate local heritage while raising vital funds for two well-loved charities.

The calendar, priced at £10, was officially launched during this year’s Christmas Lights Switch-On and will be available to purchase from ten outlets across Randalstown from Monday.

Created to honour the town’s “community spirit, heritage, and the people who make Randalstown such a special place”, the 2026 edition features original artwork by Belfast-based illustrator Lauren Moloney, whose bespoke designs highlight the character, landmarks, and identity of the area.

All proceeds will be shared equally between Charis Cancer Care and Marie Curie, both of which provide essential support to individuals and families affected by life-limiting illness across Northern Ireland.

Local businesses back the project

The production of the calendar has been fully funded by local sponsors, allowing every pound from sales to go directly to the two beneficiary charities. Sponsors include:

John Mulholland Motors, Randalstown Pharmacies Ltd, BCCU, Nimbus IT, D.C. Corr & Company, Kearney’s of Randalstown, Cossum Swim School, Hurrells Electrical, Cummins Tree Services, McKeever Hotels / Dunsilly Hotel, and One 2 One NI, alongside Randalstown ARCHES Association.

‘We are incredibly proud’ — ARCHES

Hannah Moloney, Operations Manager for ARCHES, praised the collective effort that has brought the project to life. She said:

“We are incredibly proud of this year’s calendar and grateful to everyone who has contributed — from the artist and sponsors to the volunteers who have helped bring it to life.

“The support for Charis Cancer Care and Marie Curie means a great deal to our community, and we hope this year’s calendar will raise a fantastic total. We look forward to sharing the final amount in January.”

The Randalstown Community Calendar 2026 is available now at local outlets across the town, with organisers encouraging early purchases as demand is expected to be strong.
