The Northern Ireland charity, Tuesday’s Child, invites you to a Summer BBQ in The Crosskey Inn, Toomebridge on Saturday 18th June, to raise funds for war –torn children.

Tuesday’s Child helps children living in extreme hardship in 12 areas around the world and gives 100 percent of proceeds. Proceeds of the summer BBQ night will go towards helping war-torn children in the Middle East.

Many people across South Derry kindly donated to the charity’s airlift appeal for babies and children affected by the devastating floods in Pakistan last year.

The Crosskeys is Northern Ireland’s oldest the oldest thatched pub in Northern Ireland.This white-washed, thatched stone built cottage served as a coaching stop on the original Belfast to Derry road and is famed for Irish Traditional Music.

The charity is hoping the sun will shine for what promises to be a great night of music, song, dance, craic and great food. There will be a traditional music session on the night so anyone who wants to join the session is very welcome.

“We are really looking forward to the event and hope to raise lots of money to help war-torn children”, said Orla Sheehan of Tuesday’s Child.

Local businesses have been incredibly generous and supportive of the fundraiser donating some fabulous raffle and spot prizes for the event. Tickets are £10 and available from The Crosskeys Inn or from the online store on the charity website at www.tuesdayshild.org.uk.
