Working in partnership with Homeless Connect FareShare NI, U105 and Belfast Live, Translink set up food donation points in stations across Northern Ireland, as well as hosting a donation event which saw one of its double decker buses filled with gifted food items.

The vital donations will allow FareShare NI to distribute nourishing meals to families, schools, charities, and community groups throughout Northern Ireland, helping those living in food poverty or facing financial difficulties.

The campaign was also given a welcome boost from local charitable organisation, The Lightbody Foundation, which donated £10,000 towards the worthy appeal.
