We just wanted to share some feedback and photos from what has been a really wonderful Summer Holiday Club this year!!

We reckon we fed about 400 people (including the volunteers) over the four August Tuesdays - in both body and soul!
🎶😇🙏🏾😍👏🏽😋😋👏🏽😍🙏🏾😇🎶

The "Good News Gang" kids and families were all superstars - and hats off to our volunteers for all their hard work!! ...and relax!!!

Thanks to Communities Together Durham and East Sunderland Community for their financial support.
