“I am delighted that my proposal for Belfast City Council to commit an additional £100k to purchase food parcels to support the most in need over Christmas has received support. 

 

“This additional money, on top of the £300k already agreed by Belfast City Council, will be used to purchase thousands of food parcels and support vulnerable children, families and older people across Belfast.
