The ‘Black Santa’ tradition at Belfast Cathedral was started in 1976 by Dean Sammy Crooks, and as the Cathedral enters their 45th year of the annual appeal, they are pleased to announce the release of the Black Santa Applications for 2021!
This year, the Very Reverend Dean Stephen Forde especially welcomes applications from registered charities working directly with refugee communities settling in Northern Ireland and people with disabilities.
You can download the application form from the Cathedral website and please return by post to The Dean of Belfast Cathedral, Sitout Applications, c/o Cathedral Business Assistant, Donegall Street, Belfast, BT1 2HB or email directly to admin@belfastcathedral.org. It’s important to return your application before the closing date on Friday 26th November 2021.
