A West Belfast man has dedicated his time over the last three years to spread as much joy as possible over the Christmas period
.
Now known as Uncle Duff, his Christmas appeal is in full swing, gathering toys for young children and vouchers for older children and teenagers, with the support of local businesses and sports clubs.Speaking to Belfast Live, he said: "This is the third year of doing Uncle Duff's Christmas appeal now. I wanted to help people who had kids, and were maybe feeling the pressure.
"We've helping families in Antrim, the Shankill Road and East Belfast and that's with the kind help of others. People contact my page online and ask if they can donate, now I would usually ask for vouchers or toy donations rather than money. If I do get money, I'll go out and buy the things with that, whether it is the toys, or maybe gas or electric.
"Kilwee Celts FC and Glendowan FC also have helped with this appeal as has M&M Gentlemansb Barbers, who are providing a drop off point for toys and then every hair cut on December 12, the money will be put towards our appeal. It is amazing."
