What a fabulous time we all had, whether it was choosing gifts or delivering them - it was a very rewarding Community Mission supporting 265 Swindon families in need at Christmas Time. It also gave some of us the opportunity to meet and chat in a very safe and socially distanced way! How lovely to see one another again. Here's hoping we can all see one another soon?

The Christmas Toy Appeal has been in touch to say that 5,823 toys were donated along with £10,900, which was used to buy additional presents. 700 children in total recieved a gift sack that included four main presents, a book, a soft toy and three stocking fillers. One in two families also received a food parcel. How amazing!

Thank you to everyone for making this happen. I am very much looking forward to the Christmas Toy Appeal in 2021.
