Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate Social Responsibility is at the very heart of Salsa-NI. Over the last number of years the organisation has raised thousands of pounds for charitable causes. This money is donated to good causes in communities both in Northern Ireland and internationally. Salsa-NI has achieved this through volunteering, ‘salsathons’, and through support from Salersos at its two major annual Charity events, it’s Summer Salsa Ball and Christmas Salsa Ball.
