The Community Christmas Lunch, held at Woodham Community Centre on Christmas Day for anyone lonely, was a great success.

We would like to thank Bethany Nursing Home, Great Aycliffe Community Aid Partnership, Tesco and everyone who kindly donated to this event. With these amazing donations we were able to make a very special day for everyone who came.

We would also like to thank everyone who gave up their day to help. We are so proud of our team, showing love and care in their community.

We are going to hold similar events like this during the year, where people can meet up, eat and make new friends.
