We might not have been able to hold our Christmas party, but it was a delight to see so many smiling faces as we handed out presents donated by Blacko Primary School this weekend.

A big thank you to Emma Sayle, business manager Blacko school, Arran Sayle and the Sethi family for helping out with the gift distribution.

Thank you volunteers too: some of the team had the chance to take time out and reflect on all they have achieved this year at a Christmas lunch on Friday. This fantastic group of people spend hours practically and emotionally supporting local asylum seekers and refugees, so this was our chance to say a big thank you to them.
