Antrim and Newtownabbey residents urged to support Women’s Aid ABCLN's Christmas Pyjama Appeal
Residents from across Antrim and Newtownabbey are being urged to donate a pair of new cosy pyjamas ahead of this year’s festive period to help children and families who are affected by domestic abuse.
The Women's Aid-ABCLN Christmas Pyjama Appeal, supported by the Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, Councillor Leah Kirkpatrick, is back for its fifth year.
In a social media post, the charity wrote: “Every child deserves the magic of new pyjamas at Christmas. Sadly, for many children across Northern Ireland, this simple joy isn’t possible.
"We’re asking you to help bring comfort and festive cheer to children and families affected by domestic abuse.”
Residents can donate:
- New pyjamas for boys and girls (newborn to teens);
- Pyjamas for women;
- Gift cards also welcome.
Pyjamas don’t need to be Christmas-themed.
Drop-off points include Antrim Civic Centre, Mossley Mill, Antrim Castle Gardens Gift Shop, and Ballyclare Town Hall.
Donations are being accepted until Wednesday, December 10.
