🌟 What a Busy and Wonderful Week! 🌟
We’ve had an absolutely incredible week full of generosity, community spirit, and festive cheer 🎄💛
✨ Monday – We gave out 101 chocolate selection boxes to every pupil Ash Lea Special School.
🍽️ Tuesday – We cooked 38 Christmas dinners with homemade tomato soup, turkey dinner, and trifle or Christmas pudding. This was followed by the Candleby Lane school Choir, a festive quiz, and gift boxes for every diner.
📦 Wednesday – A bumper delivery from Fareshare, kindly delivered by the Belvoir Rotary Club.
🛒 Thursday – Our Social Supermarket, supported by donations from Global Group, Kenny Robertson, RK Plastering, and a very kind £20 donation from a member of the public.
🚚 Friday – A huge delivery of ambient goods from The South Wolds Academy and Sixth Form plus more donations from Small People’s Nursery.
🎟️ Saturday – Social Supermarket raffle draw, with more generous monetary donations handed in.
🎅🎉 Sunday – A very busy day!
• Our CCK volunteers were out collecting at Notcutts with the Rushcliffe Rotary Club Santa Sleigh, spreading festive cheer 🎄
• In the evening, we held our Christmas Party Night The Rose and Crown Cotgrave, playing charades and singing carols together with all three churches – a truly heart-warming way to end the week ❤️
🎁 Christmas Hampers
This year we were able to include supermarket vouchers in our hampers thanks to donations from Leisure Energy, Black Pearl Electricals, and James Lee Solutions, alongside festive goodies.
💖 Thank you to every single person, business, school, church, organisation, and volunteer who donated, supported, collected, cooked, sang, or showed kindness.
We truly couldn’t do this without you – our community is amazing 💖
Looking forward to the New Year 🌲🌲🌲
🎄✨
