'For as long as I can remember mum has always been doing things to help others..'
For the past 40 years a family from the Cregagh estate has been dedicating their time to looking after and supporting those in need in their community.
"After that things just continued and every year I would organise different events and fundraisers in order to donate to worthwhile causes in the area and do a bit to help anyone who might need it." "She has done all sorts for local charities over the years, whether that is raising money for new equipment at the hospice or organising events to gather donations. This is on top of doing things to help people out in our area who need a bit of extra support.
"This year we are looking forward to a number of events we are preparing for, with our Mayday Madness street party for charity and our Lunch at Nanny Dot's where we will be providing packed lunches to any child from Cregagh who wants it. She said: "We would love to have somewhere we could set up a proper premises for us so that we would be able to do things a bit more officially instead of out of mum's house, but we are having trouble finding something that is right.
