Starting the year as we mean to go on.

The cold weather hasn’t slowed the Friary Gardeners—plant sale prep is well underway, and in the woodwork shop we are making bee hotels. A productive start to the season, whatever the temperature ❄️🌱🐝

With beautiful singing, thoughtful readings, and moments of celebration, it was a wonderful way to mark the season together.

Members across Co-op and DBS had a fantastic time enjoying this year’s annual Panto 🎭✨

It was wonderful to see so many smiles, laughter, and shared moments as everyone came together for a fun-filled performance 😊

Russell said "I enjoyed watching the Panto with my friends. My favourite part was when they kept singing 'nothing beats a Jet2 Holiday', I found it funny."

Several of our Co-op members have been consistently attending Knitting Club each week for over a year and they decided they wanted to help plan this year’s Christmas dinner.

They visited Hastings College to confirm dates and prices, collected attendance numbers, and gathered everyone’s meal choices. Matt said- "I really enjoyed the dinner and the dessert, I like spending time with the people at Knitting Club and enjoyed helping plan it."

Attending the Knitting Club has been a wonderful community-building experience, and the Christmas dinner was a fantastic success! 😊

Huge thanks to everyone who came along and helped out at the Lock-In on Friday!

A few weeks back we honestly weren’t sure if we’d have enough volunteers… but on the night we ended up with 36 amazing people - staff, family, friends - all pitching in and giving the evening that special vibe that keeps us coming back year after year. A special thanks goes to Steve SHF SOUND & LIGHT /Music Master Entertainment our disco man who was the highlight of the evening.

Our annual Lock-in sums up the wonderful spirit of community which makes Parchment Trust so special. Everyone had such a great time. Merry Christmas all! 🎄🎅
