December Monthly Promotion

Santa Stroll

The Santa Stroll was held by the Brothers of Charity Services in Merseyside on Monday 14th December around the grounds of Thingwall Hall.

The Brothers of Charity Services in Lancashire also held a Santa Stroll on the 17th December, which starting at the Chapel at Lisieux Hall, the group walked up to the site of Kem Mill and back to Lisieux Hall, a challenging route of 3km!

Everyone enjoyed both festive strolls raising money for the Brothers of Charity in Sri Lanka, and everyone received a medal, mince pie and hot drink afterwards to warm up!

Christmas Jumper Day

The Brothers of Charity Services in England wore festive jumpers on the 18th December, donations were collected for Text Santa in Merseyside and the Salvation Army in Lancashire.

January Monthly Promotion

Dry January

Dry January participants often report losing weight, sleeping better, more energy, clearer skin plus huge savings. That’s not a bad return just for cutting out the booze for 31 days.

So go on, take time out and prove to yourself that you can say no to the tipple.

Plus the money you donate will help Alcohol Concern, the national charity dedicated to tackling the harm caused by alcohol to individuals, families and society. Did you know that 93,500 babies under 1 live with a parent who is a problem drinker? Your donations and fundraising can help provide awareness around the issues, get young people involved in conversations around alcohol for the first time, and help to protect families. Registered Charity Number 291705.
