Cinemagic audiences support foodbank
Rather than paying for a regular ticket to gain entry to the Cinemagic film screening, young audiences are asked to donate an essential item / food item needed by the Food Bank to support the local community in South Belfast. To date the organisation has empowered and inspired young people to help others in need and the initiative is well on its well to achieving one tonne of food donations for those most in need in South Belfast to help combat the cost of living crisis and inspire young people to help their communities.
Chris Shaw, Cinemagic Festival Programmer said: “We wish to support the local area that Cinemagic resides in and to give back to the community in a meaningful way.

“The response so far from February to June has been overwhelming and it’s our aim to expand the initiative to other areas in Northern Ireland and work with the young cinema-going public to make a difference through the medium of film.”
The next screenings will be Clifford The Big Red Dog on Saturday June 25 and The Bad Guys on Saturday July 30 as part of Cinemagic Young Audiences Supporting Foodbanks screenings in The Ulster Museum.
Tickets are free of charge in return for a foodbank donation/s but it is essential that tickets are pre-booked online at www.wegottickets.com/cinemagic
The aim is to deliver more donations film screenings over the next six months in Lisburn, Ballymena, Magherafelt, Armagh, Portstewart and Strabane.
