We have now broken up for the Christmas and New Year holiday period after a busy and sociable December and a lovely party to thank our volunteers.

2011 is going to be challenging for many, but we are optimistic that its going to be exciting and fun-filled too: and hopefully yours will be too.

We hope that you all keep warm and have a lovely couple of weeks whether or not you are celebrating Christmas - in the meantime, here are some photos from recent events to entertain you:

Murder Mystery

As a test-run for a potential fund-raiser next year (and just for fun, too) - we hosted a murder mystery with a hollywood theme:

Volunteers’ “thank you” party

As mentioned above, this was a lovely party.
