Christmas in particular is a time where costs are high and families across the country can end up overspending or in debt as a result. "This donation will be a literal life saver for many who are struggling financially and emotionally in these difficult days.” It follows a record £2.5 million package of fuel poverty grants already awarded by the distributor to charities and community groups to help tackle fuel poverty this winter.

'I headed to the Belfast Christmas Market with £20 and this is what I got'No trip to the Belfast Christmas Market is complete without a plate of Dutch pancakes! Visited Belfast yesterday, Traffic Wardens tripping over eachother to hit the public with parking tickets across the city & snooping around car parks to share the misery of shopping in the place. Family & friends were disgusted. Avoid the place people & go elsewhere Merry Xmas We visited the markets on Friday, a wonderful visit. An essential Christmas tradition at this stage. £20? 😆 Last of the big spenders
