If you have children or grandchildren of your own, you’ll know how the excitement builds at this time of year. Making ‘wish lists’ for Santa ... going to the movies or the pantomime ... Christmas trees full of twinkling lights at the mall ... the smell of yummy cakes baking ... extra treats and sweets.
We have plenty of special holiday activities planned (all with the need for social distancing in mind). Swimming parties ... movies & popcorn in the cottages ... camping out under the stars in the grounds ... board games ... singing and dancing. We’re also looking at activities outside the Home – like hikes and drive-in movies. And of course, Christmas trees, decorations, and brightly wrapped gifts in Santa’s sack.
Or, you might like to consider signing a monthly debit order, so we can keep the magic alive all year long.
Regardless of how much you give, or how often, you’ll have the pleasure of knowing you’re bringing a little extra joy into the life of a child who’s had a rough start in life.
Thank you! And may your own festive season be filled with the same joy you give to others.

Bringing up a child is expensive! And when you have a 'family' of 64, every extra bit of cash helps.
Order delicious party platters at reasonable rates ... or make use of our laundry service.
