“The response since has been fabulous and I know the good people of Larne and the villages around the coast will get behind this fun and community engaging campaign. What could be better than giving the gift of care this Christmas to local life limited children and their families.”

Also attending the launch was Alderman Maureen Morrow who commented: “This is a brilliant concept and one the entire community can get behind. The parade on Friday 1st December should bring footfall to the town and businesses are already getting behind it by pledging to host little events in house on the day or in the run up to the parade and family fun day.

““Jingle All The Way” needs your school, your club or organisation, businesses and church groups to join in.”
