‘Virtual’ soup lunch for Christian Aid in Ballyclare

Wednesday May 13th 2020

Ballyclare parishioners enjoying their soup and raising funds for Christian Aid.

As the parishioners of the United Parish of Ballynure & Ballyeaston (Ballyclare) were not able to carry out their normal collection for Christian Aid Week due to the coronavirus lockdown, they decided to do something different instead.

Typically, a soup and bread lunch was also organised during Christian Aid Week within the parish to raise money, and so it was decided to have a ‘virtual soup lunch,’ enjoyed by people in their own homes.

All those participating shared a photograph of their lunch and parishioners were encouraged to donate to Christian Aid online.
