Over £1100 raised for Larne Foodbank during Music Festival and gala concert
Larne Foodbank has thanked the organisers of Larne Music Festival after donations at the event, along with a gala concert raised over £1100 for the organisation.
The festival, which celebrated its centenary in February 2024, was held between April 2-5 at 1st Larne Presbyterian Church Hall.
In their April newsletter, Larne Foodbank praised the quality and standard of the performances, adding: “Larne Foodbank would like to thank the organisers for inviting them to run a donation-based refreshments table and giving us the proceeds of their gala concert.
"Over the four days, those attending very generously donated £481.35 and the donations towards the concert were £632.25 – an amazing total of £1113.60 to Larne Foodbank. This money will be used to help those people living in and around Larne who find themselves in crisis.”
Meanwhile, support from the community helped Larne Foodbank – part of the Trussell Trust network – to feed 102 people (70 adults and 32 children) in the month of March 2025.
