CARRICKMORE GLOWS BETTER TOGETHER

**Thank You for Your Incredible Support!**

We’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone for your generous support so far. The costs of our new festive lights and the “Magical Christmas Night” on December 7th have been higher than we initially anticipated.

To help cover these additional expenses, we’ve increased our fundraising target to £15,000 on our GoFundMe page.

Let’s come together once again to reach our new goal and light up Carrickmore this Christmas!

Thank you all for your continued kindness and community spirit. ✨

There is something magical about Christmas.

It's a time when neighbours greet one another with warmth, families gather and children's laughter fills the air. It's a season of hope, light and community spirit.

The very values that make our community so special. But this year, we want to do more than simply celebrate Christmas. We want to give something back to our community, something that will bring joy not only today, but for many years to come.

Imagine walking through our village on a crisp December evening. The streets glowing with festive lights. Families stopping to take photos. Children with eyes wide in wonder, pointing at sparkling displays. Visitors feeling the warmth of our welcome before they even hear a word spoken. This is the vision we share to light up Carrickmore this Christmas, and to keep building on that light every year. What we begin now will become a tradition, something future generations will look back on with pride.

Why We're Asking for Your Help

To make this dream a reality, we need the help of the people in our community. Every Pound raised will go directly into creating something bright, beautiful, and lasting. We know times are hard, and every donation comes from money that has been hard earned. But we also know the value of giving isn't measured only in what is spent, It is measured in the joy it creates, the pride it builds, and the memories it gives to our children. When you give, you are not just donating to lights or decorations. You are investing in joy, in community pride and in the future of Carrickmore and our Parish.

A Gift for Our Children and Their Future.

Think of the little ones who will walk our streets this Christmas, eyes sparkling as they take in the lights.

Think of the stories they will tell, the photos they will treasure and the pride they will carry into adulthood about their hometown.

Think of the people who will remember our parish not only as a place, but as a community that shines with heart and spirit.

This is not just about 2025.

It is about setting something in motion that grows stronger every year. A gift from us to the next generation. We are asking every household, every business, and every friend of our Parish to come together and make this vision possible.

No donation is too small. Every single contribution will play its part in bringing light to our streets and joy to our people.

This Christmas, let's light up for our families, for our children, and for our future.

Let's create something that will make us proud.
