Huge thanks you to Plantpots Jesmond & Forest School for our trees decorations. We're sad we couldn't see you but Vanda and Angela have decorated the tree beautifully and loved all the decorations

We popped along to Vinnies @ St vincents centre today to deliver 3 hampers, three Christmas Eve bags and lots of extra bits and bobs. Yesterday The People's Kitchen came to collect 2 boxes and four bags of socks, gloves, hats and other items. We have also managed to raise £125 for the Alzheimers Society despite being unable to go-ahead with Elf Day 2025 so we just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone for their support

We're unable to go ahead with our Elf Day for Alzheimers due to circumstances beyond our control. We really don't want the charity to miss out so if anyone can spare a pound to help out we'd be really grateful for a donation on our Just Giving page. Thank you

Help Nicola Farquhar raise money to support Alzheimer's Society

We've been amazed by the donation so far for both Vinnies and The People's Kitchen were hoping to drop them off on Thursday when we have the minibus. We think we have enough to make 3 hampers and three christmas eve bags of treats for Vinnies and we'll be packing those on Tuesday morning if anyone can come and lend a hand. Any further donations would be greatly appreciated but we would particularly appreciate some crisps if you're popping in before Tuesday. Thanks again 😀👍

Yesterday we enjoyed some fabulous Irish dancing from the Healey dance school. Angela enjoyed a trip down memory lane as she used to do Irish dancing when she was younger.

Just a reminder we'd appreciate some items so we can try to put together a few hampers any items are great. However we're particularly short of tinned meat and fish, sweets, cakes, biscuits and crisps if you can help. Thank You

We've been out and about this morning leaving our angels for everyone to find for before storm Claudia arrives. We thought this might be a good time to remind everyone we're collecting socks, hats, gloves and trainers for The People's Kitchen We're also collecting items we can use to make some Christmas Hampers for St Vinnies if anyone has any item they can spare. Please and thank you

The weather has forgotten today is so it's too wet to get out and about with our angels 😇. Fingers crossed 🤞 tomorrow is better
