Holiday makers help raise £5,000 for Barnardo's NI

Customers of Northern Ireland’s leading independent travel agent, Terra Travel, have helped raise £5,000 for Barnardo’s NI by just simply booking holidays!

Last year Terra Travel launched a scheme –namely Give a Child a Break, whereby the company pledged to donate 2.5 percent from the sale of every holiday booked to Barnardo’s NI. The scheme was extremely well received by Terra Travel customers who are delighted in the knowledge that their holiday spend this year has made a difference to the lives of vulnerable and disadvantaged children locally.

Terra Travel Managing Director Damian Murphy said: “We are delighted that our Give a Child a Break initiative has raised £5,000 for Barnardo’s NI to date and appreciate the support of our customers. By booking through the scheme our customers have been able to go on holiday knowing they have also helped support local vulnerable and disadvantaged children. Terra Travel is committed to continuing its support for Barnardo’s NI and will host a range of new events in aid of the children’s charity over the coming year.”

Leona McEvoy, Business Development Manager, Barnardo’s NI said: “We are thrilled that Terra Travel’s ‘Give a Child a Break’ scheme has been such a success and we would like to thank everyone who has supported it. The money raised will go directly towards Barnardo’s NI work supporting children locally including young carers, children with disabilities and children who have been bereaved.”
