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 Summer Salsa Ball and Christmas Salsa Ball.

A huge “thank you” to everyone who attended the Salsa-NI Summer Charity Masquerade Ball last Saturday night at Riddel Hall. What a fantastic night of top Salsa music, dancing and performances! A special thank you to Tony for all his help setting up, Jackie for the amazing pictures and our performances! I am delighted to say you helped to raise an amazing £1,510 for the DEC Appeal for the Turkey/Syria Earthquake that impacted the lives of over 18 million people. Thank you all so much for your support.
