George's Bar in Derry to host 35th Annual Madeline Barr Christmas charity night supporting autism causes

George’s Bar on Bishop Street in Derry is to host the 35th Madeline Barr Annual Christmas Charity Night to raise vital funds for autistic children and adult awareness.

All proceeds from the event will be donated to Ardnashee School in Derry and Belfast NI Support.

The charity evening will take place on Thursday, November 19, with live entertainment beginning at 9:30 pm. Attendees can enjoy live music from Monica McGuigan alongside a raffle featuring a variety of Christmas prizes throughout the night.

Now celebrating its 35th year, the long-running community fundraiser continues to support causes close to the local community. Organiser Madeline Barr chose Ardnashee School as one of this year's beneficiaries because the cause is deeply personal to her.

“I am delighted with the monies we’ve managed to raise so far, and I’d like to extend a massive thank you to City Cabs, Pennyburn Credit Union, and so many others that have helped boost the event,” said said.

“I’m hoping for a very successful Thursday night where we raise a large amount of monies for the two charities, and I would ask anyone with free time to come along and show support.”
