Established in 1980 by The Salvation Army, the Family Appeal with St Vincent de Paul is the largest cross community Christmas appeal in Northern Ireland.  Your generosity will help families faced with making impossible choices.

Whether you wish to donate £5 for a stocking filler, £10 towards a book so that a mum can read her child a bedtime story on Christmas Eve or £15 for a cosy Christmas coat, we are grateful for your donation and it will be split jointly between both charities.

The Salvation Army and St Vincent de Paul are committed to ensuring that no child in Northern Ireland wakes up without a gift under the tree on Christmas morning and your support is crucial in helping us achieve this.

St Vincent de Paul

The Society of St Vincent de Paul (SVP) is an international charity and the largest voluntary charity in Ireland. SVP members in Northern Ireland work in all communities to support people whatever their background, who are experiencing poverty and social exclusion, promoting self-sufficiency and working for social justice. 

Every year SVP spends approximately £3 million to help those experiencing poverty in Northern Ireland. Last year, SVP responded to tens of thousands of calls for assistance from members of the public.
