“Every penny raised will help empower disabled young people and local families in Belfast and surrounding areas.
“Whether that’s via What Next?, Freedom2Choose and Be A Champion projects or through direct work with families raising a young person with additional needs, this significant sum will help us deliver vital practical support for local families.
