“We shall be screening the film at 10.30am during December and early January in support.” Charlie Doherty: “It’s alsmost eight years since I held my first charity event. It was because of what I saw on TV after the Boxing Day Tsunami, people that had little were losing everything. I just wanted to help.
“My mum explained to me how charities worked and I’ve been joining up ever since to a range of charity challenges having fun with my friends and family,
“I found out about Mary’s Meals six years ago and there are so many good causes out there I don’t want people to stop supporting charities they care about but maybe just maybe after seeing Child 31 they may want to make a slight change.
