Diners ‘make a change’ to children with cancer
What a difference a month can make – that’s all it took for Deane’s diners to raise over £5k for a local children’s cancer charity.
Between mid November last year and Christmas, customers at the Belfast restaurants were encouraged to make a small donation while paying their bill as part of the Make a Change Campaign. The grand total raised is £5,300 which will help Northern Ireland Cancer Fund for Children support local families affected by cancer. NICFC corporate fundraiser Sorcha Chipperfield is delighted with the amount raised.
She said: “I am amazed at the generosity. I’d just like to thank all of the customers who donated and of course Michael Deane and Deanes at Queen’s head chef Chris Fearon.”
Mr Fearon added: “We’re delighted to be involved with a great local charity like NICFC, and it’s great to see our customers getting behind this campaign and digging deep to help support local children and families affected by cancer. We’ve been supporting the charity for a few years now, and having met some of the families, we know first-hand how important the charity is to them.”
