Every year for as long as I can remember I (Caroline O'Neill) have collected gifts for children in our country that may not get anything on Christmas morning.

Last year I raised £24,000 in 72hrs which I then distributed amongst N.I influencers and we were able to turn that into almost £50,000 worth of gifts by spending it in independent businesses throughout our country.

We then donated those gifts to Cash For kids. This year I am so aware that charities have not been able to fundraise due to COVID 19 so I have decided to split all money raised between three charities.

Cash for Kids, Women's Aid and Children In Northern Ireland.

I have spoken to each charity individually and they have told me what the children need in relation to food and gifts.

I will take all money raised and spend it, where posssible in independently owned businesses throughout our country.

I will ask for the help of influencers in Northern Ireland to carry out this task and I know that I have their support always.

It's been a tough year for so many but its made me realise more than ever that we are strong. We can make a difference and we will make a difference to all of these children.

So lets do this! Lets raise as much as we can. Lets turn it into as much food and gifts as we can and give every child everything they deserve.

Love
