Lough Erne Resort has helped raise more than £38,000 to tackle holiday hunger for children across Northern Ireland.

The resort teamed up with Cash for Kids NI to organise two fundraising events, generating a total of £38,532.22.

The first was a private evening of music and entertainment with Nathan Carter, the resort's Brand Ambassador, which drew an audience of 150 guests.

The second was a corporate golf day at the Faldo Championship Course, which attracted 100 participants.

Both events were hosted by Downtown Radio breakfast presenters Gary Myles and Glen Pavis.

Clare McGimpsey, Charity Manager for Cash for Kids NI, said: "We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support from Lough Erne Resort and everyone who attended and participated in these events.

"It has been great to work with such a passionate team who have really helped us to make a significant contribution towards tackling holiday hunger."

"For some local children, their school dinner is the only hot meal of the day.

"During the holidays, struggling families simply can’t afford enough food, so they’re often eating unhealthy options or even nothing at all.

"We want to make sure these children have enough to eat.

"Money raised for Cash for Kids Day will help reach out, with fun activities and that important healthy meal during the holidays."

Gareth Byrne, General Manager for Lough Erne Resort, said: "We are delighted to have partnered with Cash for Kids NI for these wonderful events.

"We are proud to support the invaluable work Cash for Kids does in Northern Ireland and we look forward to continuing our collaboration in the future to help more children.

"I would also like to thank our brand ambassador Nathan Carter for his unwavering support in helping us raise such much-needed funds."

Lough Erne Resort has confirmed it will be setting up a deposit point in the hotel where the public can leave Christmas presents

These will be distributed to children by Cash for Kids NI.
