Thanks to the incredible generosity of our local community, this year’s Women’s Aid Christmas Pyjama Appeal has once again brought warmth, comfort and festive cheer to children and families affected by domestic abuse.
For the past six years, Councillor Leah Kirkpatrick has been a passionate advocate of the initiative. This year, as Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, she joined Women’s Aid ABCLN CEO, Gillian Creevey to personally deliver the donations, collected at Antrim Civic Centre, Mossley Mill, Antrim Castle Gardens Gift Shop, Ballyclare Comrades Ladies Football Club and Ballyclare Town Hall.
The Mayor paid tribute to the generosity of the local community: “Thank you to everyone who donated. Your kindness brings dignity, comfort, and will help make bedtime a little brighter this Christmas.”
If you or someone you know is affected by domestic abuse, Women’s Aid ABCLN offers confidential support on T. 028 2563 2136.
