IntoMedia Group Announces Little Heroes as 2026 Charity of the Year

IntoMedia Group, owners of The Irish News, Q Radio and Interpress, has announced Little Heroes, the official charity of the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children, as its 2026 Charity of the Year.

Selected following a company-wide nomination and voting process, Little Heroes was chosen by colleagues across the Group. The charity raises funds exclusively for the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children, supporting essential medical equipment, research into children’s illnesses and enhanced facilities for young patients and their families.

Throughout 2026, IntoMedia Group colleagues will participate in a series of fundraising initiatives and awareness campaigns across its print, digital and broadcast platforms. McKeever Sportswear has generously donated jerseys, which will be worn by employees taking part in sporting and fundraising events throughout the year.
