In the lead up to Christmas we partner with the local primary schools to provide Christmas gifts for families struggling financially. Christmas is all about the amazing gift of Jesus - we want to demonstrate his love and generosity to local families this Christmas. 

​

By taking part in this you will be helping ease the financial pressure, bringing joy and hope into the homes of local families. 

​

This year we are partnering with six local schools who will identify children to bring who will be attending our Santa's Grotto sessions which includes craft, games, playtime, hot chocolate and a gift from Santa. 

​
