We’ve tried to build a place where people can get a breakfast, a conversation, a helping hand, or simply know that someone gives a damn.

We’ve fed the homeless every week.

We’ve provided free breakfasts to schoolchildren who needed them.

We’ve supported local families during difficult times.

We’ve raised money for people facing unimaginable circumstances.

And through it all, we’ve tried to do it quietly, properly, together.

The reality is that the last few months have been some of the hardest we’ve faced.

Trade has dropped significantly, while the costs of running the business continue to rise. At the same time, I’ve continued the community work that Belfast Breakfast Baps has become known for.

Rain.

Hail.

Snow.

Court appearances.

Whatever was happening in my own life, we still showed up.

Now I’m asking for help.

Not for myself personally, but to give Belfast Breakfast Baps some breathing space. To keep the lights on. To keep the doors open. To continue feeding those who rely on us. To continue providing free breakfasts to local children. To continue being a place that serves more than just food.

Every pound donated will go directly towards keeping operations running and supporting the community work attached to Belfast Breakfast Baps.

If you can donate, thank you.

If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this page.

If you’ve ever had a breakfast from us, shared one of our posts, supported our outreach, or simply believe local businesses that give back deserve a fighting chance, we’d be grateful for your support.

This isn’t a sob story.

If the doors close, I’ll work somewhere else and carry on.

But if there was ever a time to back Belfast Breakfast Baps, this is it.

Thank you for every bit of support you’ve shown us so far.

Mark Young

Quietly. Properly. Together.
