A VIRAL video that prompted a festive fundraising campaign helped earn Charlie's Bar the business award.

Last December, the video from the Enniskillen pub raised awareness of loneliness around the festive period, and had a positive impact on the lives of elderly people across Fermanagh, with £23,000 raised for Age NI.

William Blake said Charlie’s Bar was "delighted" to win the category, which was sponsored by local firm, Encirc.

"We are absolutely delighted to receive this on behalf of the bar and the Burns family," he said.

"Una [Burns] is doing a fantastic job since she took over. It really is a team effort, and they are all pulling to do what’s best for Charlie’s and the community around us."

He said that the major success of the video shows how local pubs are still at the heart of the community.

"The video raised important awareness of how some people will be feeling over the Christmas period," he continued.

"We can see with the elderly how vulnerable they are at Christmas time. They should know they can call in to their local pubs and have a chat, whether it’s with a member of staff, maybe it’s one of the customers. You will always have someone to talk to."

He added: "I would like to thank manager, Una, and the whole team in Charlie’s Bar."
