We love seeing support for the big charities — they absolutely deserve it.
But let’s not forget the small ones.
The local groups who quietly go above and beyond for our community, day in, day out. The ones supporting your town, your people, your spaces.
The ones offering free counselling with no NHS funding. The ones who listen, signpost, guide, and help you navigate what to do next.
The ones creating social events to make life a little cheaper, easier, and less lonely.
The ones right here, in your hometown.
They say it takes a village — we say it takes a community.
Let’s do more of that 🤍

How wonderful to recieve this message from someone who attended our Christmas day event 🥹🥰

Ps they are hopefully popping into to collect this week

Just a quick text to say a big Thank You to everyone at Colne Citadel for the Lovely Christmas 🎅🏼 Lunch yesterday.
I would have been alone otherwise, just me and my 4 Cats.
On the downside, on leaving, I forgot my Gift 🎁 Bag, but thanks again, anyway, I hope it went to a good home.
All the Very Best to all your staff for the coming New Year. X
