NI telecommunications firm donates £20,000 to children’s Lapland charity after reading moving story in local press Barclay Communications will fund The Northern Ireland Children to Lapland and Days to Remember Trust’s festive initiative which will replace its annual trip to Lapland A Northern Ireland businessman has donated £20,000 to fund a festive initiative for those living with life limiting and life-threatening conditions. Britt Megahey, Founder and Managing Director of Belfast headquartered Barclay Communications, was moved when he read recent local press articles about the Northern Ireland Children to Lapland and Days to Remember Trust’s decision to cancel its annual flight to see Santa in Rovaniemi, the official hometown of Santa Claus on the Arctic Circle in Lapland, Finland, because of Covid-19. The charity, which has taken over 1200 ill and vulnerable NI children to Lapland over the past 12 years, vowed to ‘keep the magic alive’ this Christmas despite the coronavirus pandemic. Instead, it decided to swap air miles for groundwork replacing its traditional annual flight to Lapland to visit the Big Man himself, with a new, temporary initiative called “Three Steps To Christmas’”. The campaign will call on local health trusts to nominate 100 very special terminally ill, life-limited or deserving children from all over Northern Ireland to receive some extra special Christmas presents from the charity while their siblings can join in the festivities as they too receive a smaller gift.
