Christmas Charity Event
Every Christmas, we host a special event for disadvantaged children. This cherished tradition includes hiring a cinema at the Custard Factory, where we screen festive films and provide gifts, sweets, and popcorn.
Our very own special Santa makes an appearance, spreading joy and creating unforgettable memories for the children. We’ve had incredibly positive feedback from this event and it’s always rewarding to see the smiles on the children’s faces.
We are looking forward to hosting another Christmas event for children this year.
Upcoming Events and How You Can Get Involved
We are excited about our upcoming charity dinner in September, where we aim to surpass last year’s fundraising total. Last year’s charity dinner was a resounding success and we are looking forward to this years event on the 28th September.
