Important Christmas & New Year Update from Via Wings.

Our Wings 'N’ Things Preloved Shop will be closing early today at 1pm. The shop will reopen again at 9.30am on 5th January 2026.

Meantime, The Larder is already closed, and will operate again from Monday 5th January (10am to 2pm).
For the first two weeks, The Larder will be open Monday to Thursday inclusive (10am–2pm) to support those who may need a little extra help after the Christmas period.

After this time, we will return to our normal opening hours: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday (10am – 2pm).
We look forward to welcoming you back and continuing to support our community as we move into the New Year. 💙

If you are out shopping this weekend please consider adding an extra pair of pyjamas to your basket to keep a child cosy this winter. Lots of our children and young people have actually asked for pyjamas, blankets, cosy socks etc this year.
Below are the sizes that we still need to fulfil our wish lists.
Please comment below or send us a PM with the size that you have bought in order to avoid duplication.

We just had to share this brilliant idea from the wonderful ladies of St John’s Women’s Institute in Dromore. They recently held a fun competition where members decorated cereal boxes and the results were incredible! The creativity and originality on display was fantastic and even included a cereal-box handbag.
But here’s the best part. Not only did they enjoy a fun, imaginative challenge, they then donated all the cereal to The Larder, our social supermarket here at Via Wings, to support families in need this Christmas.
What a perfect example of kindness, community spirit, and thinking outside the box, quite literally. To all involved, thank you. Small ideas can have a big impact — and this one certainly did. Meeting needs, changing lives. Together. 💙

Important Update: To support as many families as possible in the run-up to Christmas, The Larder Social Supermarket will also be open next Wednesday, as well as Monday, Tuesday and Thursday (10am-2pm daily). We shall then be closing for two weeks to allow our staff and volunteers much needed rest after an incredibly busy season. We want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to access support before then. If you need food support, advice, or simply a safe and friendly space, please call in. 💙

Some stories stay with you, and this one touched our hearts. Meet Harriet. Earlier this year, she set up a little lemonade stand to raise money for Via Wings, inspired by the kindness and community spirit shown by her mum and dad at Belfast Bow Company in Dromore.

Harriet loves browsing our Wings 'N' Things shop, and last week she picked out something she loved. She came back the next day as she had found a £20 note hidden in the pocket of the item she had bought. She could have kept it and treated herself but instead, Harriet decided she wanted to use it to buy a gift for a little girl on our Santa Wish List. So, she and her mum headed into Dromore to shop locally and choose something special. At such a young age, Harriet has shown compassion, generosity, and a heart for others that inspires us all. Jesus is the reason for the season. Thank you Harriet. 💙

Before you scroll past, take a moment and imagine this. A child goes to bed on Christmas eve, excited and hopeful. They climb into bed wearing old clothes, or a worn-out t-shirt, because buying new pyjamas simply wasn’t possible this year. Meanwhile, on the same night, another child is snuggled into fresh fleecy pyjamas, warm, cosy, and full of that Christmas magic. Both children deserve that feeling, the sense that Christmas is still for them.

We have a list of local children, real families who need support this Christmas, and we want to make sure every single child has a cosy pair of new pyjamas to wear, but we can’t do it without your help.

To avoid duplicates and shortages, we’ve created a list from which you can choose a size we still need – total items in brackets. If you can help, please put your choice in the comments below, and we will confirm your selection, before you purchase the items.

Please drop the pyjamas into Via Wings, 9-13 Princes Street, Dromore by 4pm on Monday 15th December. If you can take part and share this appeal with your friends and work colleagues, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💙🦅

Well, we thought we’d seen it all!! Earlier today, a cheeky elf was caught on camera in The Larder trying to steal gravy granules destined for our Christmas food hampers! Clearly, even the elves know how important a proper Christmas dinner is, but behind the laughter is something real. We are still short of many items to go in the hampers for the families relying on us this year. Just today, three more families reached out to us, three more households who never expected to need help, three homes where Christmas looked impossible, until they found the courage to ask for support.

So, if you can donate, we still need non-perishable items such as gravy granules, Schloer, and selection boxes. Every donation, big or small, helps us make sure no family goes without this Christmas Day. We know times are tough, and we never take your kindness for granted.

If coming in-person isn’t possible, you can donate through our Just Giving page: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/viawingschristmas2025
We are also trying to fulfil the children's Santa wish lists and still have many items outstanding. These can be purchased online (and delivered direct to us) at: https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/5IPB8OH9ZZPE...

Thank you for helping us make Christmas warm, joyful and dignified for families in our community. 💙

We are incredibly grateful to Cash for Kids Mission Christmas for their kindness and generosity this year. Their amazing team, are helping charities like ours to help ensure children who may otherwise miss out, will experience the joy of Christmas morning! While Mission Christmas is helping us fulfil many of the Santa Wishlist's for local children and teenagers, we still have a long way to go...the need is higher than ever, more families are struggling, and we still have children and young people waiting for gifts and support. So if you’re able, we would be deeply grateful for any further help. You can support in two ways:
🎁 Purchase a gift from our Amazon Wishlist:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/5IPB8OH9ZZPE...
(Please order by 15th December due to delivery pressures.)
🍽️ Donate to our Christmas Dinner Appeal:
https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/viawingschristmas2025
Together, with support from Mission Christmas and people like you, we can make sure no child or teenager is forgotten this Christmas! Thank you for standing with us, and helping us continue meeting needs and changing lives. 💙🦅

Can you imagine your child waking on Christmas morning, with none of the toys from their Santa list under the tree? Or could you imagine when you ask your child to write your Santa list but they say "mum, what is the point, as I know that you don't have any spare money to spend on gifts for me?" Or asking simply for a new school bag, lunch box and water bottle. Or being the child that wakes up on Christmas morning to a parent no longer there? These are just some of the heart-felt stories that we as a team hear every day, at Via Wings. If you could just pick one gift, no matter how small, you could really help some of these children have a better Christmas.

If you’re able, please take a moment to browse and select something meaningful from our Amazon wish list: https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/5IPB8OH9ZZPE...
We kindly ask that orders are placed by 15th December due to delivery times.

We are also appealing for donations for our Christmas Dinner Appeal. With your support, we can provide hampers containing everything needed for a festive meal and a moment of joy.
If you’d like to help, please visit: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/viawingschristmas2025
Even a small amount makes a real difference.
Thank you to everyone who has already donated — your kindness is already changing Christmas for so many 💙🦅

Imagine it’s Christmas week. You’re trying to make the day feel special, not extravagant, just normal.
A warm dinner, a treat for the children, maybe a bottle of Shloer to make it feel like a celebration. Now imagine standing in your kitchen realising you can’t afford the mince pies, the coffee for visitors, or the meal you had hoped to share as a family.
For many of the families we support, this isn’t imagination, it’s their reality. As seen in the video attached, we are incredibly grateful for every donation so far, but we still urgently need more donations in order to help all of our families have the Christmas they so deserve. Every single item helps. Truly. There is no such thing as “too small.”
If you’d prefer to help another way: please donate to help fund Christmas dinners:

or purchase a child’s gift from our Amazon Wishlist (please order by 15 Dec):

We just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who has donated so far. It enables us to provide a Christmas meal for a family, or purchase food items for our Christmas Dinner Appeal. We are very grateful for every turkey that has been already donated, but we are still short.
Turkey, ham, vegetables and desserts - can you donate any of these items? A full Christmas dinner costs £65 for a family, however, if you could even purchase just one item, it will go some way to help us to feed a family this Christmas - please visit https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/viawingschristmas2025
Or if you can help us fulfil our Amazon Wishlist to help those children who may otherwise not find a present under their tree this Christmas, please visit https://www.amazon.co.uk/.../5IP.../ref=nav_wishlist_lists_1
Thank you for your ongoing support in helping us to meet needs and change lives 💙🦅
