🎄 A heartfelt thank you to the Lyric Theatre Belfast! 🎄

We are incredibly grateful to the Lyric Theatre for their wonderful support of The Salvation Army’s Family Appeal this Christmas. On the opening night of A Christmas Carol, the Lyric invited audiences to bring a new, unwrapped gift for children aged 0–16 years, with volunteers on hand to receive donations.

This year’s production—reimagined in Dickensian Belfast by Marie Jones and starring Dan Gordon as Ebenezer Scrooge—beautifully captures the spirit of generosity, and we are so thankful that the Lyric chose to extend that spirit to families in need.

With the cost-of-living crisis continuing to affect so many, the Family Appeal is more important than ever. Last year, thanks to amazing community partners like the Lyric, Tesco, Bridge Commercials and Phoenix Energy Services, we were able to support over 2,000 families across Northern Ireland.

💝 There’s still time to help!
Unwrapped gifts can be donated at Salvation Army churches and centres until 19 December, or online via JustGiving. 👉 https://www.justgiving.com/page/familyappeal2025

Thank you once again to the Lyric Theatre and to everyone who has already given so generously. Your kindness will make Christmas brighter for children and families across our community. ❤️✨

Tesco customers can Be A Star by donating new, unwrapped gifts at designated Tesco stores until 8 December. Look out for the special Salvation Army ‘Be A Star’ donation banks located in participating stores.
