The Belfast Multi-Cultural Association carries out valuable work across the community by running a food bank, distributing food parcels to the needy, homeless and vulnerable - especially vital during the pandemic. In time, they hope to have a community centre for educational and other support programmes.

On the night of 14/15 January, the Association's base was badly damaged in an apparent arson attack.

Belfast Multi-Cultural Association is Belfast at its best. It's time to rally round, say no to racism and yes to supporting people in need in the city.

What a response!! The original target of £10,000 was smashed within two hours. Then you met and passed the revised £20,000 target. Then £30,000. And now past £60,000! What an incredible response. The antidote to hate is love. You are showing so much love right now. Thank you!

We have now raised the target to £100,000 to help them build back better than before. Out of this tragedy is coming real hope. This money will help to get BMCA re-established in temporary accommodation and enable them to continue the food bank, food distribution, clothes bank and their other work.

This fundraiser has been set up with the agreement of Belfast Multi-Cultural Association and all funds raised will go to BMCA.
