The funds, totalling £15,133.83, were collected through generous public donations during both events. Cormac McMullan from Cancer Fund for Children expressed heartfelt gratitude, stating, “We are so thankful to Alan, his team, and the general public who donated at Belsonic and EMERGE concerts throughout 2024. Every year, Cancer Fund for Children provides emotional and therapeutic support to over 1,500 children and young people coping with the challenges of cancer.”
The collaborative effort between these music festivals and the charity has been ongoing since 2008, playing a vital role in helping children and families navigate their toughest times. In Northern Ireland, where government funding is scarce, this support is crucial. Alan Simms, the promoter, also shared his admiration for the charity’s mission, highlighting the importance of local support.
Why should you care? Supportive community events like these not only contribute to fantastic musical experiences but also uplift those who need it most. The heartfelt contributions from festival-goers show how music can bring people together for a worthy cause.
