Clergy will be taking to the streets in Ballinamallard today for the annual 'Black Santa' sit out for 12 hours.
This event is based on the sit-out carried out by the Dean of St.Anne's Cathedral in Belfast.
From 8am this morning until 8pm this evening, Archdeacon Brian Harper will be located in the main street of Ballinamallard to raise funds for two charities.
The Archdeacon has participated in the sit out six times in Ballinamallard and says each year has been successful in raising money for two charities.
Last year they raised between £3,000-£4,000.
Archdeacon Harper told Q Radio he's extremely grateful for the generosity of people in Fermanagh who help in raising funds.
He's encouraging them to show their support once again if they're out and about Ballinamallard today:
