A very Caring Together Christmas!!

by

We’ve had a lot happening at Caring Together in the run up to Christmas. Including ‘One Day at Christmas’ at the Royal Armouries, Our musical get-together with songs from LUUMIC, visiting the Heart Centre Christmas market and Gateway’s carol service, a Christmas lunch at Britannia Hotel, a party hosted by staff and students at Notre Dame, and finally we finished with our festive film afternoon this week.

That’s the last of our Christmas events and our regular groups and activities have finished today for the Christmas break too.

Caring Together will be open until midday on Christmas Eve and then we will be back on 2nd January 2026.

Activities will resume week commencing 5th January and the New Year sees the return of our Winter Warmer Wednesday soup and bread sessions.
