CHRISTMAS CHEER
"Sometimes a little Christmas magic means everything....."
Sometimes you are reminded exactly why something matters.
We recently received a message from a local mum who asked if she could bring her young son and her mum to our Christmas Cheer event.
Her family is facing the heartbreaking prospect of having to move out of their home around Christmas, with no new home secured yet. They are living with the uncertainty of not knowing where they will be living or what Christmas will look like.
For her young son, there is a very real possibility that this Christmas could be very different from the one they had imagined.
She told us that being able to come along to Christmas Cheer would give them a chance to forget about everything for a few hours, make some happy memories together and, most importantly, give her little boy something to look forward to.
That message genuinely moved us.
This is exactly why we wanted to organise Christmas Cheer.
Christmas isn't easy for every family. Sometimes a few hours of kindness, laughter, food and Christmas magic can mean far more than we realise.
We are proud to be able to give local families a little bit of that this Christmas. We want to fill Bear Grills 4 times over, reaching as many people in our community as possible.This Christmas, noone gets left behind ❤️
