L🎄🎁⭐THANK YOU⭐🎁🎄
A huge thank you to everyone who donated and especially to those of you who have supported this cause year after year. Barnardo's has suffered a number of funding cuts this year and have lost some of their services as a result so to be able to give a little bit of Christmas magic to the children and young people they support is somehow even more special than usual 💚
This collection wouldn't happen without all of the help and support of everyone involved, especially not on the scale it has grown to over the last few years, thank you 🩷
Next year will be year 10 of running this appeal. Maybe it'll also be the first year I don't run out of gift bags?!
