As per r3. Tradition, we prefer not to do Secret Santa and ask all staff for a voluntary minimum donation of £20. We raise this money on the day of our Christmas Party to give back to those less fortunate who won’t get to enjoy a fun evening with friends and colleagues in a great setting.

This year your charitable donations will be given to Dreams Come True whose mission it is to enrich the lives of children and young people in the UK who are living with serious and life-limiting conditions.

We would like to raise £2,295 for someone like Annabel to go to Center Parcs with her family - you can read more info about Annabel's dream in the email sent out.

If everyone is feeling extra generous, here is what the following, on top of our goal, could achieve:

• £1,350 could fund an ipad e.g a tablet to help an autistic teenager develop their communication skills

• £2,700 could fund a room/garden makeover e.g a room makeover for a seriously ill child

• £3,105 could fund a trike e.g a specially adapted trike for a child with cerebral palsy
