Northern Ireland Football Manager, Michael O’Neill MBE, has appealed to the public to help 100,000 local children who currently live in poverty.

Attending the launch of Translink and U105’s ‘Stuff A Bus’ Toy Appeal, in aid of The Salvation Army and St Vincent De Paul, Michael has come on-board to help stuff a double decker bus with more than 20,000 toys this year, in the hope of spreading joy to children on Christmas morning. Purchasing just one extra gift could make a difference to a child’s life this Christmas. All gifts must be new, unwrapped and can be left at drop-off points located in Translink stations right across Northern Ireland until December 17.
