​Christmas Care has now closed for this year - a huge thank you to ALL our volunteers and donors! We have been able to welcome a full house of guests, feed them well, provide warmth and Christmas cheer. When we closed, we were able to bid them farewell with goodie bags of food and other essentials.
​
​Thank you to everybody involved - we wish you all a very Happy New Year.
​
We will be starting the work to organise Christmas Care 2024 in the early autumn. Keep an eye on this page or follow us on Facebook for the latest updates.
