We hosted a delightful Christmas Afternoon Tea recently, offering a warm and festive gathering with delicious sandwiches, cakes, scones, and tea or coffee—all for just £10. Guests were treated to tasty treats and festive cheer, and there was an extra special visit from Santa himself, adding magic to the occasion. A huge thank you to Chris Tanner and her fantastic team of helpers for their hard work and dedication in making the afternoon tea such a success. Your time and effort truly brought the festive spirit to life for everyone who attended.

In addition to the afternoon tea, we also held our Christmas Raffle, which proved to be a fantastic success. With six lucky winners, the raffle raised an incredible £472. Every penny raised at both events will go directly back into The Dorothy Parkes Centre to support our community activities and services. Thank you to everyone who joined us, supported the events, and made them so special. Your kindness and generosity ensure that we can continue to provide support and joy to the local community.
