Mary Beggs-Reid is calling on people to ring a bell from their doorsteps for two minutes at 6pm on Christmas Eve

Mrs Beggs-Reid said: “It’s fantastic that the Prime Minister is getting behind an everyday mum like me and trying to help communities as much as we can.

“Especially with the recent news, this is more needed now than ever.

“They love the idea and will look for bells to join us.

“They said they support anything helping Santa fly his sleigh for the children.

“It was just a simple bell-ring to start with but it’s evolved into so much more, so that for two minutes on Christmas Eve nobody feels alone.”

The event has been endorsed by Captain Sir Tom Moore

The 41-year-old, who works as an estate manager, was contacted by No 10 after Mr Johnson expressed an interest in ringing bells on Christmas Eve.

Thousands of people across the UK have been asked to ring bells for two minutes at 6pm on December 24 as part of the campaign, which started on October 19.

The event has been endorsed by Captain Sir Tom Moore, who called it “a brilliant initiative at a time where it is really needed”.
