Dean Stephen Forde is preparing for his fifth charity fundraiser at St Anne’s Cathedral
Dean Stephen Forde and Santa’s little helpers will be on the steps of St Anne’s Cathedral, Belfast from this Monday, December 19 until Christmas Eve as the 2022 Black Santa sit-out begins.
The 2022 Appeal will focus on registered charities supporting the most disadvantaged families and individuals in the community, and charities working directly with refugee communities settling in Northern Ireland. “Our focus is to support those organisations who are working on the front line. It is for those of us who can to help those who are struggling with the cost of living,” Dean Forde said.“This year we want to be more focused so we can give bigger grants, particularly to charities who don’t have professional fundraisers,” Dean Forde added.
This will be Dean Forde’s second Sit-out this year - during Lent, he raised more than £56,000 for those whose lives had been impacted by the war in Ukraine.
