Today the task was to clear the wood chip etc around the raised beds, so Danni, myself, some girls doing their Duke of Edingburgh Award and a couple of other members of the community worked together to acheive this. The extra was then spread around the beds.

Helped Decorate the New Malden Partnership Christmas Tree which is based in the Methodist church in the High Street.

Like every year, we have been asked to join the Kingston Round Table to lend some elves to help guide their Santa's Sleigh through the streets of Kingston, to bring some cheer while knocking on doors to collect some donations.

So tonight, Emily and I braved the cold and rainy evening with our festive elf ears on and skipped our way to various different homes. We were greeted with friendly neighbours who kindly donated their money, while calling for Santa to surprise some young children. Some children were shy and star-struck while one little boy was so excited to see Santa that he was willing to run out without his coat and shoes! 😆

It is always so lovely to hear the sweet giggles that children make and see their faces light up whenever they see the jolly, bearded man in red.

So let’s get our bells on and bring on Christmas!

On the second day of Christmas… nine helpful elves decorated a supported living house for people with learning disabilities and vision impairments called Seeability. We had colourful and sparkling Christmas lights and decorations which made the residents excited with big smiles and hearty laughs 😃

We split ourselves in three groups: Group A - Emily, Martel and Marcos tackling the ladder to put up the Christmas lights outside around the house. Group B - Emma and Levita decorated the Christmas tree with some of the residents while singing cheerfully. Group C - Laurel, Jana, Anna, Rachel and Jonathan got creative with the window stickers.

Afterwards, mince pies were shared out and our chief photographer and video editor, Rachel, got us dancing around the Christmas tree. Lastly, like always we ended with a group photo with all of the residents 😃

Have a Merry Christmas Seeability!!🎄🎅🏻🤶🏻 See you all again soon! 😊

Dropped a few cans for the local food bank.

This evening Dave and myself meandered up and down a block of streets that had be planned out,with other volunteers to collect money for the round table to distribute where needed.The main man SANTA did a great job talking to the kids, including the adults. This time of year brings the big kid out in everyone!
