Christmas Meal and Art Exhibition 2024
On Tuesday 17th December, we had our Christmas Meal for our supporters, volunteers and the wider community. Our amazing Community Meal team produced a free Turkey roast dinner and vegetarian option for attendees to enjoy, catering for approx. 80 people! We also had members of our Supported Volunteers team creating desserts for the occasion, and an incredible team of corporate volunteers serving our guests. Alongside this, we showcased this term's work from Inclusive Art Group - we are so proud of what they have been able to make, and you can view their work over the holidays in the church.
Thank you to everyone who attended, and everyone who contributed to this joyous event - we wish you all a very merry Christmas!
Young Adventurers Christmas
This past month has been a very busy month with the end of term coming around fast along with Christmas.
Throughout the month, the children have participated in multiple activities including role play, cooking and crafts to celebrate Christmas.
On Tuesday 17th December we held our Christmas party for the children, in which children had a roast dinner, played musical statues, sang Christmas Karaoke, made their own Christmas crackers, had a snowball & spoon race and ending with an indoor snowball fight.
We return the week beginning Monday 6th January 2025.
We truly appreciate everyone who has supported our work, donated, attended, volunteered and/or ran projects with us this year. Thank you for making this year so special, and we can't wait to see what we can achieve as a community in 2025! Stay tuned for more changes coming soon...
