The Magic of Christmas at St Georges
The Christmas Fair at St Georges was a magical family festive event.
Santa Paws
Father Christmas was very busy with his grotto having a stream of children and pooches with Santa Paws as well. There was a fabulous variety of stalls from local crafters, a tombola, face painting, delicious home-made cakes and even puppuccinos for all the four-legged friends! What is always so special about these events is seeing the generations come together there were four generations of families joining in the fun today.
Weston-super-Mare Mayor joins in the Day
St Georges were delighted to have so many visitors from the community as well with St Georges Players attending to promote their up and coming pantomime Mother Goose, the characters from the panto added to the atmosphere of the day. Thank you so much to The Mayor of Weston-super-Mare for taking the time to visit the home again, it was so appreciated.
Supporting Local Children's Charity
The tombola, face painting and grotto were fundraising for local charity Springboard Opportunity Group and we were delighted to be joined by trustee Beth who assisted with the grotto. This local charity supports children with disabilities enabling them to learn and flourish. The home have raised over a £100 and are still collecting donations.
Volunteers Support the Christmas Fair
The home's amazing volunteers Jane and Diane along with Jane's family did a sterling job making never ending cups of tea and coffee as well serving up the cakes and sweet bags. Jane was the winner of the "Guess the Name of the Bear" with Fudge and we are delighted the bear will stay in the home with her dad; thank you Diane for such a kind home-made donation. A special mention also has to go to Jacob who baked the delicious cakes who was also celebrating his birthday - Happy Birthday Jacob! In addition to fundraising for Springboard the stalls were also adding to the residents' fund for future events and outings. Thank you so much to everyone who came along and made it sparkle.
