October Newsletter 2016

In the coming weeks our thoughts are going to start turning to Christmas and the forthcoming family events planned and with the added excitement of children and grand children getting a visit off a certain jolly man in a red suit. For some people this is a sad time as they have no home or family to speak of and the time will pass like any other day in the cold with no food, shelter or clean clothes. It’s with this thought on our minds we have decided to start a collection in the lead up to Christmas for the men, women and children, homeless  at this time of year. All items will be dropped at our local homeless shelter in the weeks just before Christmas.  (a date will be confirmed nearer the time).

Examples of items we are trying to collect are non perishable food items, toiletries, warm clothing i.e. hats, scarves, gloves, socks, underwear etc, sleeping bags, rucksacks and anything else you can think off. We also think it may be nice to send a selection of Christmas cards to provide them with a bit of hope at this time of year. We will be placing the pram in reception and we ask that all donations are placed in here and we will store them until our visit. We hope you feel this is a worthwhile cause like us and will support us in providing a little something to these unfortunate people who are not as fortunate as ourselves.

September 2016 Newsletter

Well after what can only be described as a wash out Summer our thoughts are starting to turn to Autumn and the coming months which can only mean one thing, lots of parties are on the way.

 Our first major event will be our Wedding day and I’m very excited to see what you all think of what we have arranged for your special day. The theme for the day is a closely guarded secret, the reason for this is we like the residents to have the wow factor as they enter the room and see the finished result. )………….
