“We brought together an incredible community, full of festive fun and connection.

A huge thank you to David Burton-Sampson MP and Cllr Sarah Jane Page The Chair of Rochford for attending and showing their support. It was a wonderful opportunity to see our charity in action and share more about the vital work we do.

A massive thank you to all the families for your incredible support throughout the year—it means the world to us!

We’re thrilled to share that we raised an amazing £211.50 through our super-duper raffle, with Clayton taking home the mega prize—congratulations!

A special shout out to Eastwood Lions Castle Point Lions, Lions Club of Rayleigh and Leigh on Sea Lions Club – CIO for their generous donations, which helped make all our Christmas events extra special.
