The charity event also raised over £6,000 worth of toys for the Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul.
Pamela McCreedy, Chair of Chartered Accountants Ulster Society said: “The Charity Lunch is always one of our most successful and enjoyable events. It’s a tremendous opportunity for the local business community to come together and help to make a difference for local charities. We’re delighted to have raised this amount for charities which are doing such fantastic work in Northern Ireland.
John Mathers, Corporate Development Director of Barclays said: “Barclays is delighted to, once again, sponsor the Ulster Society Charity lunch. Ulster Society members are extremely generous in their donations of toys and money, helping to make a real difference for many families who are in a less fortunate position. We know that the funds raised will make a really positive impact for these two organisations.”
