Christmas is supposed to me the most wonderful time of the year, however for some its a time of isolation, stress and anxiety. We love Christmas and we want everyone to be able to enjoy an amazing experience. Since 2019 we have run a bespoke Grotto in our town. Thanks to Palram and The Big Club we are able to offer a unigue experience free of charge to our community, Games, entertainment , see Santa and Mrs Claus, and the elves, and receive free gifts. We have our own sleigh which tours the streets in December, and over the years we have visited schools and other organisations. Not forgetting our amazing Christmas discos!

Our whole Christmas events aid our fundraising with a huge Raffle, allowing us to support:

• ROC solid our local children’s home, with help from the Glow Church with supply hundreds of gifts for all the children,

• The Newton Aycliffe Food banks with food supplies,

• the local animal sanctuary,

• we supply gifts to the Nursing homes for those who have no visitors,
