A West Belfast community organisation, which runs an annual Christmas donation drive to help local families, has said the cost of living crisis means "the need is higher this year" compared to previous years.
Whiterock Children's Centre, which last year supported more than 400 children at Christmas, has launched its latest appeal for donations of toys and clothes which it then delivers to homes in the Upper Springfield and Whiterock areas.
Whiterock Children's Centre, a family focused community organisation based on the Whiterock Road, has been in existence for over 34 years.
