Well we have just delivered the final emergency parcel for 2025, our appeal was started 50 years ago by my mum and a few others and started by supporting a small amount of people, growing over the years to what we have today.
We end the appeal this year by supporting 2655 vulnerable children and adults in our community which is staggering.
As this is my last post for this year I want to end by thanking all of the volunteers that have helped with filling the sacks of toys and food bags, those lovely people who helped beforehand raising money throughout the year, the week before setting out all of the toys and food ready for the packers, and those that have helped me complete the emergency parcels. It was lovely and extremely helpful to have so many more colleagues of mine helping to fill sacks this year!
A special thanks to Lisa who has been a star in so many ways but over recent days handing out the parcels when I returned to work.
To my lovely family as always who have helped, before, during and afterwards, with so many tasks very often following a day at work.
I feel completely shattered now but my hope is that all of those children and adults who will open something on Christmas morning will know that each gift has been put together and given with love, which is what Christmas is all about.
So thank you all and I wish you all a very happy and peaceful Christmas xx
