Salsa-NI

Charity

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 Spring Salsa Ball and Christmas Salsa Ball.
2022 Salsa Charity Ball for Ukraine – Riddel Hall Belfast
WHAT an amazing night!!! The venue, the music, the dancing… but above all, you! So brilliant to see everyone back on the dance floor looking so dapper and supporting such a great cause. We raised an incredible £2531 for the Ukraine humanitarian appeal from the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC). Thank you soo much for everyone who donated and came along to see old friends and soak up the atmosphere of historic Riddle Hall. A special “thank you” goes out to Tony for all your help setting up the venue, Jackie for all the wonderful photos and Julie and Gordon for those amazing dance exhibitions. And “thank you” for all your support making such a brilliant night. See you at the next one soon!!! Chris
