The Newry Business Charity Christmas Dinner 2023 will take place on Wednesday, December 6 in the Canal Court (6pm).

This continues to be one of the largest charitable events in Northern Ireland. We have raised over £1.85 million over the past 23 years for local charities and families in our community. As we enter our 24th year, we are delighted to be hosting our annual dinner event again this year.

As you can imagine, families and children in our local communities need our help more than ever this year.

From the initial concept when first launched to this, our 24th year, this event above all is about families and children at Christmas.

Christmas is a time of memories that stay with us all our lives. For even one child to go disappointed on Christmas morning is one too many.

In the greater Newry area, because of the generosity and spirit of local businesses and the community each Christmas, we have avoided any child being disappointed on Christmas morning for over 23 years.

No matter how big or small your donation, every single penny you donate will help and be distributed to the families that need it most.

This has always been a community-wide effort in support of Southern Area Hospice, St Vincent de Paul Society, The Salvation Army and many other local charities in the area, at a time when needs are most poignant.
