Lovely initiative 🎅🎄💜🙏

We’re planning a Christmas Party on Wednesday the 17th of December for the people we support! 🎅✨
There’ll be a free tombola, quiz, and bingo — and of course, a delicious Christmas dinner.

We’re looking for a little help to make the day extra special ❤️

Can you cover the cost of a meal for someone this Christmas? Just £4 provides a full dinner, drink, and dessert. Every bit of support helps us bring joy to those who need it most. 🌟

If you would like to donate, please use this link which takes you to our just giving page – please make sure you put the words ‘Christmas meal’ in the comments so we can allocate this money.
