Madiba Magic returns

What a joy it was to be able to welcome so many generous and enthusiastic volunteers to our Home again on Mandela Day. In fact, we had so many volunteers, it was more a case of Mandela Month!

Individuals and groups were welcomed with open arms – whether they just stopped by to drop off donations, or stayed for hours, helping to plant veggie seedlings in our food garden, give walls a much needed coat of paint, bake bread in our kitchen or help sort second hand items for our Thrift-up Shop.

Funds were raised on the day through the sale of children’s artworks, our new range of popular home-made preserves, and a pop-up book store.

And of course, the children were thoroughly spoilt with jumping castles, delicious meals and plenty of treats.

Many, many thanks to our community for embracing the spirit of Mandela Day so wholeheartedly and generously. We loved having you back again after the isolation of the lock- down years.
