Santa Stroll and Christmas Fair
Our annual Santa Stroll took place on the 2nd December at Thingwall Hall (Merseyside) and on the 7th December at Lisieux Hall (Lancashire). We also held a Christmas fair on the same day as our Santa Strolls which included stalls, games and festive refreshments!
The money raised by both events was donated to The Brothers of Charity Services clients Christmas party in Merseyside and in Lancashire.
