Cash for Kids Northern Ireland Announces Glamorous Christmas Nostalgia Gala Ball - In Aid of Mission Christmas 2025 – Ensuring No Child Wakes Up Without Gifts on Christmas Morning

Cash for Kids Northern Ireland is rolling out the red carpet for its Christmas Nostalgia Gala Ball, in aid of the Mission Christmas Appeal 2025, on Saturday 29th November at the iconic Europa Hotel, Belfast.

Proudly sponsored by AXA Insurance and hosted by Cool FM’s dynamic breakfast trio -Pete, Paulo and Rebecca – this dazzling night promises festive elegance, laughter, and the heartwarming chance to help ensure no child in Northern Ireland wakens up without gifts under the tree.

Your donation has the power to bring joy to up to 180 local children this festive season. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our suppliers, every £1 you give can be tripled in value - turning into £3 worth of support for disadvantaged children across Northern Ireland. Together, we can help make their Christmas a little brighter.

The Mission Christmas campaign is now in its 16th year in Northern Ireland, ensuring that no child wakes up to an empty stocking. In 2024 alone, the campaign brought joy to over 17,000 local children - but the need is growing fast. By sponsoring a table at the Gala, your business could help provide gifts for up to 180 children this Christmas.

Pete, Paulo and Rebecca, Cool FM Breakfast show said:

“Supporting Cash for Kids is something really close to our hearts. Every child deserves to feel the magic of Christmas, and the Mission Christmas Gala Ball is an incredible way to help make that happen. We’re so proud to be part of a night that brings people together to raise vital funds for local kids who need it most. It’s more than a party - it’s a chance to change lives.”

Clare McGimpsey, Regional Manager for Cash for Kids Northern Ireland, said:

“The heartbreaking reality is that too many children in Northern Ireland still face waking up to nothing on Christmas morning. Mission Christmas is here to change that, and with the help of our Gala Ball guests, we can make sure thousands of children feel the excitement and joy they deserve.”

Entertainment will include live music, comedy with a series of unforgettable moments - including a very special Live Bid Auction with exclusive prizes, to be revealed soon. And that’s just the start - we have more exciting announcements coming in the weeks ahead.
