Since 2009 Little Wing Pizzeria has raised over £125,000 for many local kids’ clubs, community groups, and charities across Northern Ireland.

This year, to mark the opening of the new restaurant in Whiteabbey, Little Wing is further increasing its bursary pot and encouraging people in the area to nominate their local kids’ clubs for the chance to receive a much needed £500 cash boost.

Luke Wolsey, managing director, Little Wing, said: “We have been exploring continued expansion of the Little Wing brand across Northern Ireland, so when this space became available in Whiteabbey, we felt it was the perfect opportunity to serve the community in Newtownabbey.

“This investment in our ninth restaurant marks an exciting time for Little Wing as we also prepare to open the nomination process for our Little Stars bursary initiative for the sixth year.”

He added: “Playing an active role in the communities we serve is an integral part of our ethos and we are proud Little Wing has donated over £125,000 to local community groups, schools and charities through various sponsorship, bursaries and event fundraisers.

“The Little Stars bursary officially launches on October 1st and, as we prepare to launch our newest Little Wing in Whiteabbey, we are proud to increase our total bursary fund in order to invite children’s clubs within the area to apply.”
